So, there are really no "rules" on the Camino except that if you wish to get the official Compostela in Santiago you must walk at least the 100km from Sarria to Santiago.   So there are now many more pilgrims on the road.   We are now in the Galicia region of Spain, on the western side of the mountains, where it rains a lot!  It is very green here, lots of interesting moss and plant life along the path.   Here is Andy in his camouflage poncho amongst all the green!

Since most everyone follows the same guide book that gives suggested stages, we took a shorter stage  today to avoid the big crowd at the suggested stop for the day.  Too bad it is too cold and rainy to enjoy the outside patio but curled up inside with a blanket!  There is a strong Celtic influence in this region so the music reminds me of Cu Rói - not a bad way to spend the afternoon
