Moderate but somewhat tiring 14-16 km hike today, but beautiful weather for a walk over rolling hills and through secluded paths and semi-industrial complexes outside Melide. Photo of bridge over river and from same is included below.
Today I got photos of each milestone on the way, without evidence of any distance increases as we perviously observed, but did not record, two days ago. Photos of milestones near the start and end of today's walk are included here. Shoes and boots are popular adornments, as is lots of ugly graffiti, for milestones.
Horses are more frequent here, and might be a more interesting mode of transportation. All look well-kept.
This area of Galacia and Coruna has forests of both young and mature shaggy bark gum trees, or more properly eucalyptus. The spicey fragrance reminds me of our times with my sister Lisa in Australia, and more and more of California. These groves seem to be planted not wild, so the question arises as to their use. Lumber, oil, what?
Tonight we have a clean private room over a bar, which is convenient, and inexpensive at 15€ per person for the three of us. However, some sort of town celebration band is tuning up, so we will know later about the noise level.
