Day 75 Muxia - Vimianzo

After talking with various local people and a representative from the Spanish Tourist Office we agreed that the best way to reach La Coruna was to go via two secondary roads all the way.

And so, we set off from a very wet

Muxia, Ana Maria with her poncho on although I decided to brave the weather! We had hoped to refill our water flasks after about seven miles but found the bar closed and had to wait another hour or so before we could have a drink!

The road went up and down like a roller coaster and was quite tiring. Eventually we reached our destination for the day, the town of Vimianzo. We found everyone getting ready for a local fiesta. There is a small but beautiful castle and tomorrow they re-enact the storming of the castle in 1461.

The local bars had stocked up with special tapas at a very low price and so we went on a pub crawl, Spanish style!

Tomorrow we continue for around another 25 kms and hope to reach La Coruna in about three days. On this stretch there are no more "Pilgrims" and we are already missing their company. Walking on the road is not very exciting but it is realistically the only way to get to La Coruna within a reasonable period of time.

We are hoping that the weather will improve tomorrow as we are not looking forward to more rain!
