Before other things, I noticed that a word was omitted from yesterday's post. The Monasterio in Sobrado has almost nothing left of the original decorations. In fact, one of the cloisters, when it fell into other hands, was actually quarried to sell the dressed granite as building material.
Today we got out, not really early, but early enough at about 0730, and made it to Arzua about noon-thirty. It has been nice and sunny walking weather, too.
We're staying at the Albergue O Santo, on the square.
Of note if you're looking at these issues, the Camino del Norte comes into the town about half of the way through. There is a whole flock of places to stay clustered around where the French Way enters town. We are staying near where the Norte enters town, on the way out.
You can see our towels drying on the little balcony.
Tomorrow we will head towards O Pedrouzo, along with the other pilgrims from various routes. (By this time the pilgrims from the Via de la Plata and the Madrid route have also joined the flow.)
Ultreia.
