After a large breakfast we were met by Father Angel once more, who walked with us to the statue of Salvado, where he blessed us and set us out on our journey to O Porrino. We started our journey, heading in the opposite direction of the path towards the lTuy Cathedral to get our Camino passports stamped.
Following the yellow shells and with spirits high, (and heading in the right direction) off we went on our way. The walk started out in the beautiful town of Tuy where we walked the residential streets until we came out onto a path through fields and stunning greenery. Powering on at a fast pace we managed to walk about 3km before blisters and hunger made us take a break. After the stop we continued walking, stopping briefly to enjoy the views and take pictures.
With over 10 000 steps under our belt we sat down for lunch and a quick recovery, our full bellies and slightly rested feet gave us another burst of energy to continue our path. As our muscles ached and spirits began to slowly falter, we were comforted by the sight of O Perrino in the distance and managed to march on until we reached the edges of the town.
At this point I wouldn't say we were lost but I would go as far as saying that we were fairly disorientated as to where we would be spending the night. The sight of the 'Parque' Hotel was a great relief and we were very happy to finally sit down and rest our feet after 23 000 steps and over 17km. We will sleep well tonight, ready for the 23kms tomorrow.
Buen Camino!!
Fr Angel's Blessing
