Day 6: Arzùa to Rùa-O Pino / O Pedrouzo - 19 km

This is a beautiful stage with areas that pass in the middle of beautiful forests. In addition to admiring the nature and the rural roads, you will find places like the Fountain of Santa Irene, known by pilgrims as the "Fountain of Eternal Youth" or the beautiful surroundings of the Noa River waterfall

Mogens, of course, only sensed to get the showdown on video - Jessie did not have the time to take pictures. We had eagerly agreed that we should be better off for breaks, but neither today did we hold the agreement, so it went 7km before the next stop and it's far too far. Ate an ice cream and shared a coke within the last 5 km to the accommodation Pension LO in the town of O Pedrouzo. Really nice place - brand new - small but nice and clean room. After bathing and rest we went down to town (400 meters) and found a restaurant - Taste The Way - where we ate Galician food and drank local wine - a so-called tasting menu. Today we have rounded 120km since we started - it has been bedtime before the last hike of the trip.
Today's shady walk goes 18 km (about 5 h) through forest, along the stream and through the lake ugly villages. Spend some time and visit the chapel of Santa Irena with the beautiful statue of Saint Jacob. The rest of the road to Rua / Opino is on quiet country roads. Rua is one of the quietest places to Gore held before Santiago de Compostela. We live at PR Una Estrella Dorada in O Pedrouzo


We ate breakfast at 7:30 am - again a very beautiful start to the day where the train was low and the sun was getting up when we left at 8:30. The Caminovanders came from all places in the city of Arzúa where we had stayed and headed for the Camino. Have fun every morning to start out with all the other hikers - more we have walked right from the start. We walked the first 4 km through woods - not as big altitude differences as yesterday, but still hilly - before it was time to stop - ate a banana and Mogens drank a cup of Cafe Leche. We continued - it was barely as hot as the other days, but fortunately, much of the Camino also went under shady trees today. Occasionally we had a chat with other migrants - today a woman from Australia and when we told we came from Denmark we were almost in family. The talk quickly fell on Mary and our royal family as she almost knew more than we ourselves. Another couple we talked to was from Guatemala - so we have met many nationalities, but still no Danes. Again time for a stop after another 5 km - the boots off and a glass of freshly squeezed juice. In addition to the wanderers we also met a large bunch of cows that came against us - a little scary to pass these big animals that went on both the right and the left of us - Jessie did not even think it was as fun as
