Day 6: Quiroga to A Pobra do Brollón — 23km

We were feeling a bit worse for wear upon leaving this morning after a...
Tour of church in Montefurado
The volunteer (in Oct2023) who showed us through the church, also pointed out this tunnel & explanation above in Wendy’s post.
Her name was Marisol (pic below on steps of church ) .. (not the one from Borrenes)...
