Another excellent walking day, I’m really getting into my stride now \ud83d\ude42 The distance between Quiroga and Monforte de Lemos on the Camino Invierno is given as 36km which is a bit far for us, although a first for us on this Camino is we met a fellow walker from Austria who was doing the whole 36km at speed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Our solution was to ride in the car to Restaurant La Brada this reduced the distance to just less than 20km starting very close to a medieval bridge and a 200 metre climb \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Dropping down into A Pobra do Broll\u00f3n a wild boar and her family of piglets dashed across our path, fortunately, the father wasn’t around although Colin did get to meet the local election candidate, at length, in the cafe when we stopped for our morning drink \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The scenery then became more rural and flatter apart from the final 100 metre climb before the descent into Monforte de Lemos and Geoff awaiting in the car to take us to the Hotel Ribeira and a short walk to the excellent Taperia Restaurant.<\/p>\n

An excellent day walking of 19km.\u00a0 The rain stayed away. although at one point it became quite cold.<\/p>\n
