There’s a power cut in Cea tonight so the dozen or so pilgrims in the large dormitory can have a more authentic medieval pilgrim experience. Lights out all over town.

We chose the less steep eastern route out of Ourense but it’s tough work whichever way you go. The long climb makes this 23km stage feel much longer. Fortunately, the route is through woods and pleasant farming areas.

To save my battery, I’ll upload a couple of photos and make a full update tomorrow.
