After a filling breakfast left the hotel around 10am and was just a commute today in the rain on the highway .
Was about 160kms to Santiago de Compostela where I stopped in the square in front of the iconic church and took shelter for an hour or so. All the " pilgrims" finish their walk on the square and there are hundreds coming in all day long, the rain was relentless the entire day and a bummer for those folks finishing in such miserable conditions.
PORTO
The rain did let up a bit so I scurried around and through the church and then decided to go to Porto for the night. Left in the rain and arrived in Porto, 240kms later in the rain, took the toll road all the way, a miserable commute it was.
Found a decent place in the centre of town which worked out great. Afyer a quick shower I went to explore the town in the fading sunlight and never had another drop of rain in the five hours I walked around, so was happy for that. Had a meal at a restaurant overlooking the bridge down by the river, so ended up to be a gret evening in Porto.
Went down early in the morning before I left to walk the bridge again.
