Camino Primitivo: Day Eight

A Brutal Goodbye to the Mountains

Galician mountains peak above the mist like islands

I couldn’t get any image to upload yesterday, so here is the belated report. Actually, the day just needs to be forgotten. Two near-vertical extended ascents left me completely drained. We had hoped to walk 28 km but had to stop at 20 and spent the evening in a rather depressing place called O Cádavo.

“I’m done with pork” – Tristan

Tristan had this dish Friday night. Pigs ears. He reports it was the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten. Last night we walked out of a restaurant without ordering after finding both pig ears and pig nose 🐽 on the dinner menu. Needless to say we are rather tired of rural cuisine.
