We were up and had breakfast around 7:30am and left the Albergue before 8:30. We were pleased that the rain had stopped. The weather was cool and windy with a bit of fog and clouds. We had nice views of the sunrise and continued with several steady climbs up and over ridges. After ~6km we had cake and coffee then proceeded. We continued the ups and downs, passing views of a large reservoir and then stopped in Olveiroa for a nice lunch - cerveza con limon and shared a mixed salad and pimientos de padron. We crossed another ridgeline with a row of wind generators and entered the little hamlet of Logos - only a handful of buildings with a the bar/albergue and a pension owned by the same people. Reservations were booked through the Albergue Logoso but we stayed next door in Pension Pedra in a nice double room with bath. We relaxed in the wind and sun with a glass of wine and watched the pilgrims pass by. An interesting group from Switzerland - parents and 4 young children had walked from their home to Santiago in stages over three years or so. We walked 500m to a restaurant owned by the same family that runs the albergue/pension and had dinner.

Cindy heading up another hill
Countryside much different than we've
travelled through until now
Pleasant pathway
Old church and cemetery
Another view of stone Horreo - granary
These Horreo (granaries) differ in style from
place to place. These are longer and made from stone
slabs. The are on "feet" of stone topped by disks
to keep out rodents and pests
Pine tree, horreo and countryside
Scenery and pathway
Low clouds and farmlands
Our path was to the west and the sunrise at our backs
Not rainy but cool and windy
