[QUOTE="sun is shining, post: 1247317, member: 11129"] [B]Day 10: Vilaseco - Rodeiro[/B] Today was a hard day. While the hike up to Mount Faro is absolutely doable (and well worth it), the rest of the way to Rodeiro is long. We hit over 30c by lunchtime and there’s not much shade to be had. My suggestion is an early start out of Vilaseco to allow you enough time to enjoy the views from the top. The trail goes semi-steep upwards but nothing like the hike up to Chantada from yesterday. There’s a fantastic rest area about half way up with benches / tables and a fountain (close to the memorial). It took us just over two hours to reach the top of Mount Faro including one extended breakfast break. The views all over Galicia are great so so plan some time to enjoy this before moving on. The rest of the trail is easy walking but there’s hardly any shade and no facilities to break the walk. The one bar in Rio was of course closed when we walked past it. Dying of thirst we arrived in Rodeiro where all of us are staying in Hostel Carpinteiras. Max and me sprung for a private room after the long and exhausting day today. The good thing is though that we can use the common areas of the albergue section to cook dinner with our Camino friends. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to prepare a pretty decent meal. We had pasta with zucchini chorizo sauce and a huge mixed salad. There are supermarkets in town so you don’t have to carry any provisions (as long as you don’t arrive on a Sunday). Apparently there are a few options to eat out as well but we fancied a night in with an early retirement to bed. [B]Total km[/B]: 22 [B]Accommodation[/B]: Hostal Carpinteiras [B]Cost & Access[/B]: 44€ Double room, 13€ bed in Albergue section. The attached bar is open all day, just go in there for check-in. The rest works via door codes. [B]Total spend[/B]: 52€ [B]People in albergue[/B]: 11 [/QUOTE]
