Ninth update on pilgrimage 2021

 Hello, everyone. 

Yesterday we walked from Grandas de Salime to A Fonsagrada. Because the sun comes up later and later, it's become almost normal to leave after 8:30 in the morning.



I was impressed with the kale planting here; the plants being trained on tall stalks like this is fairly typical of the family gardens we see while walking.

Due partly to the last couple of years'  craziness, there were a lot fewer places to stop for snacks than we had expected. We had very healthy appetites when we walked up the last hill!

We stayed at the Pension Manolo, a very comfortable room with a double bed. The pension has a bar-restaurant and serves a tasty Menu del Dia. We enjoyed caldo gallega, braised beef cheeks in brown gravy with fries, and the local specialty for dessert. I think it's related to the clan of egg based foods called "pastel de ..." and it was sauced with a vanilla drizzle.
