We walked 9.4 miles today. 1951 feet elevation gain and 1892 elevation lost. Max elevation was 1332 feet and minimum was -13 feet (but I don’t recall ever being under water — these stats come from Charlie’s tracking app). Most of it was on country paths. Most of it was inland but very near the coast. We did get to walk some right along the water.We had breakfast in Póo, about 1-1/2 miles into our walk. Counter food and excellent coffee.Always great to walk out of the woods to a view like this.We met a friendly donkey. He totally resembled Eeyore. Appropriate for just outside Poo (but pronounced POH-oh).And a thrill to go around the corner and see this sight. A beautiful church on the other side of the ria. Capilla de San Roque.We ended up walking through the woods behind the church. Here it is a little closer.The Camino took us across the sand on this little beach. (Not sure what happens at high tide.)We took a selfie at the next brush with the ocean.Now at our hotel blogging. We decided the bar was too cold. No other place to go in this tiny town.

I particularly love the first photo of the path winding through the gentle hills with Charlie in the foreground.
Saint Roch, being a patron saint of pilgrims (presumably because he made a pilgrimage to Rome), is very popular along the Camino. (I’m sure you knew this.) He is also associated with the plaque, and his attribute is the sore on his thigh, which he often points when pictured.
Hi Henry, I really like that photo as well. Thank you for the education about San Roque. I think possibly I had heard about this before and possibly from you. But I had forgotten. I looked him up after I saw your comment. Interesting.
What a cute donkey!
