[QUOTE="sun is shining, post: 1246294, member: 11129"] [B]Day 6: Quiroga - Pobra de Brollon[/B] I’m slacking a bit on this “live” thread because there’s always just soo much Camino stuff to do in the afternoon. Although the Invierno is certainly much more quiet than other routes there’s still an abundance of stuff to discover in every albergue town. So let’s go back a couple of days to Quiroga. Feeling fantastically rested we set out to reach Pobra de Brollon some 20-odd km away. Despite the road walking we were in high spirits - the wonders that a decent night rest can do. Well, until just outside Nocedo. Being forwarded through [USER=111201]@Simperegrina[/USER] ’s live thread we (tried to) take the alternative path along the caretera to avoid an early morning dog encounter. No such luck though as a huge dog came chasing out at us from the building opposite of the bus stop. Ok, so let’s try the way through the village then. Just as we finished the downhill section we were greeted with more growling and barking. And that dog really wasn’t going to let us walk past. Great, so it’s back uphill and another try with Cujo 1. Followed by lots and lots of barking we passed by as close as possible to the house on the left. Mood = 😵💫 The rest of the walk was at time breathtakingly beautiful, at times endlessly dull (the long sections walking on asphalt). But the higher up we went the better the views got. We had breakfast up at the Hermitage (locked unfortunately) and continued on towards Pobra de Brollon. The trail is easy to follow but there’s not a lot of shade. Still, a beautiful stage that ended at the fantastic new municipal albergue. The albergue has everything that you need, comply beds, a nice common area and a fully equipped kitchen (minus stove top). We carried provisions from Quiroga and had a fantastic meal of assorted microwaved tins and fresh salad. We did check out the shop in town but the selection there is limited, it’s expensive and the shop keeper tried to overcharge me significantly. So yeah, either bring stuff from Quiroga or eat some of the microwave meals available at the albergue for absolutely fair prices. [B]Total km:[/B] ??
