Day 4 – 7 August 2014 Betanzos to Casa Julia

Another day that kept throwing hills my way.  It was up, then down and up again.  Some of the hills were quite steep, but the scenery was beautiful.  Today’s walk, once out of Betanzos was through rural Galicia.   Galicia to  me is a very beautiful place!

Again, the temperatures were nice but a bit humid.  At one point it sprinkled a bit, but that was refreshing – I used my pack cover, but never put on my rain jacket.

I walked almost 18 km to  the Bar Julia, where the barkeep telephoned Meson Novo to come and pick me up.  Tomorrow the driver from Meson Novo will taxi me back to Bar Julia and I will walk back to Meson Novo for my second night at that hotel.

Today was the first day I encountered more pilgrims.  In fact several groups of young pilgrims passed me along the trail.
