    We pumped out 30km today with relative ease. 6:30am stop, lunch in Pontevedra and arriving in Briallos before 1pm. Fewer photos but good to get done before the heat really kicked in! Less than 50k to do. Booked for Santiago £83 ouch. Glad we have...

    Friday and Saturday brought back cheap Albergues so I was very happy. We stayed in Saians in an Albergue called San Xurxo. 12 Euros and they found us space on the floor as they were full....lots of the same faces so it is starting to get the...

    That's what I thought, too, at first ☺️. I had already suspected that the houses in this small Galician village were numbered in a kind of messy way. That is why things in rural Galicia and in rural northern Spain in general often feel so...

    @Bert45, let us ignore for the moment the question of why both Gitlitz/Davidson and Bernès, Vernon & Laborde Balen are inaccurate as to the details the location of a former pilgrims hospital in Ligonde. I managed to get hold of the guidebook...

    Oh, this is sheer endless fun :cool:. You can see the house numbers of many buildings (not all but nearly all) in Ligonde-Airexe and in Ligonde-Ligonde: https://www.idealista.com/maps/monterroso-lugo/lugar-airexe-pq-ligonde/...

    @Bert45, a wild guess: Perhaps forum member @Mark Francis Auchincloss is the same person as the Mark Auchincloss who photographed the information board in Ligonde (see first photo below and https://g.co/kgs/PnJajYy - you may have to click on the...
