Day 12 Santiago de Compostela to Negriera





A later start, could see the spires of the Cathedral as we headed out of Santiago. A glorious walk - figs, kiwi, apricots, apples, peaches, grapes - taste treats for the eyes and tongue.




One very steep ascent after lunch, with benches (6!!) to rest along the way. Stopped at Ponte Maceiera - a beautiful rest spot at the rear of a restaurant overlooking a 15-16th century stone bridge and waterfalls. Propped up my feet and enjoyed a cool lemonade.

Settled later into Hotel Tamara - a lovely room. Managed reservations for tomorrow. Enjoyed a dinner for 7euro - bean soup, chicken and frites, tarte de Santiago, and the usual bottle of wine. I remember the fellow we saw en route, walking with his laden mule. I wonder where he is tonight...
