Recap: Camino Primitivo--After Lugo, to Ferreira

 Hello, everyone.

We return to the recap of the Camino Primitivo. At this point, as Lugo is the 100km town, we were in the final stage of our Camino walk.

This Roman mile marker was near the one bar we were able to have a rest and sip at during the day.


Later that day we encountered this trail mark with the usual Galician distance estimate.




The path was often a quiet road.




Another look at the quiet road, this time with less leaf litter on it.
















We slept at the Albergue A Nave in Ferreira and we ate at the bar/cafe next door. I had tortilla de verduras, which was promised to be made with the produce of the owner's garden. We had walked past a lot of vegetable patches that day and almost all of them were well supplied with kale. Was there kale in the tortilla? No! There was, in addition to potato chunks, some eggplant and tomato. Even though it wasn't what I expected, the tortilla was good.

The following morning, we woke up at a suitable, early, time, dressed, and tried to head out. Fail. Not only was it still full dark at 8:40 or so in the morning, there was also fog on the road. We had to go back inside and wait for almost half an hour until there was light enough to walk by. (This is what happens when you walk into the shortening days--it was approaching the end of October by this time.)
