The next morning we toured Lugo with a guide. When she took up to the cathedral where we all wanted to get a stamp, she got permission for us to enter the part of the church with the exposed host. That allowed an up close view of all the great silverworks. We drove further into Galicia and stopped for lunch at an amazing rehabilitated farmhouse owned by two Brits. Lunch was lovely and after it we hiked to where the primitovo reaches the French path. This is the most popular route so immediately we saw lots more pilgrims. We crossed over a famous bridge and stopped at a fruit stand for a snack. The owner has a pink car.
After continuing along the route, we stopped for local beer and ran into two very funny 75 year old American pilgrims.
We also got to tour some Roman ruins. These are being excavated and a local expert took us through the site pointing out the larger communal houses and the smaller personal ones. This part of Spain was well settled during the time of the Caesars and this type of development is scattered through northing Spain.
