Saturday 28th May 2022 – Day 30 – Triacastela- Sarria- 18.7km

Off at 6.30 for an uphill trek for the first hour and a bit. We had the option of an alternative route to see a very famous monastery at Samos but didn’t think it warranted the extra few miles involved. We had planned breakfast at a town that turned out to be two farms and a shed! Fortunately the next town had a small cafe that sorted me out with my usual breakfast of tostada con tomate, while Susan had a massive pan o’chocolat! Managed to get into our apartment at 11.30 and showered and relaxed. Had a wander about later. There was a farmers market in town – looked like quite an event but it was slowing down by the time we got there. The town itself was a bit dreary with lots of closed shops. We had a beer in front of a big tv screen on the pavement obviously in preparation of the European cup final. Some local lads jumped in as we rose to go so I gave a few chants of ‘Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool’ as a small wind-up. Went for dinner in the small restaurant across from our flat, excellent meal as always.
