Arrived at Lubian

Hello, everyone. Today was a short day, made a tiny bit shorter because the local folks in Requejo recommended that pilgrims keep to the road at least for the first half. The ground has been very wet and muddy lately and the natural trails are infested with swampy areas. We did exactly that for most of today's walk.

We ascended about 360 meters up along the left edge of a sleepy highway, went through a tunnel that has a sidewalk and electric lights--400 meters--and had our breakfast at the bar of Hotel Padornelo. Then we continued down the other side, passed through the pretty village of Aciberos, and followed an ancient (medieval? Roman?) road into Lubian. There were lovely streams, a little cream colored narcissus flower that I have never seen before, violets--a beautiful walk.

We found a very cute room at Casa Cesar: sun shining in the dormer window, a very fancy shower with many controls, and lovely decor.
