A Party in Lugo


We arrived to the beautiful UNESCO heritage site of the walled city of Lugo to find the old city teaming with cultural celebrations for the National Day of Spain. What luck to hit another festival! We don’t really have great photos. I didn’t want to be rude about photographing everyone’s costumes. Lots of bagpipes competing from square to square and fun dancing. We even encountered a live concert and fire dancers.

We should have spent a rest day exploring Lugo. I will need to come back some day.

Very interesting embroidered hats on the men.
Concert outside the cathedral.
Leaving the old city this morning. We shipped both our bags to give our legs some rest.

We have about 75km left to Santiago. Tomorrow will be along day, over 30km as we join the French route and the separate Primitivo route ends.
