a late start to the day heading out at 0930 a steady climb into the mountains leaving the coastal estuaries behind and walking through mainly eucalypt forest with plenty of chestnut trees, chestnuts covering the paths. Light rain to start with which intensified into the afternoon, luckily a short walk of 20kms, a very wet peregrino coming into Betanzos. A small town once the capital of a province of the kingdom of Galicia, like a lot of small towns plenty of bars but few restaurants. Tomorrows walk a long one to the highest point on this camino, and no facilities near the albergue at Hospital de Bruma, ie bring all your food from Betanzos, extra weight for the 30kms, goody goody.
