Arzua to Pedrouzo and on to Santiago!

Hello, everyone.  This is another of the catch-up posts.

Arzua to Pedrouzo (O Pino) is about 20 km. We had great weather. 
Entering Pedrouzo
Pilgrims' Mass at Santa Eulalia de Arca

We stayed at Albergue Porta de Santiago,
 where we have stayed before. The laundry facilities are okay on washer, great on clotheslines. The upper bunks have ladders, of course, but these ones are much less uncomfortable to climb.

Rolling out before 7 today!
This little chapel is at the Monte de Goyo, the mountain of joy. It is said that, during the early centuries of the Santiago pilgrimage, when arriving pilgrims viewed the Cathedral in the distance from this height, they were overcome with joy to be actually arriving at their goal. From here, it's only 5 km (3 miles) to the Cathedral.

After going to the Pilgrims Reception Office and getting our Compostelas issued, we had a celebration lunch next to the Mercado.
