Portuguese Coastal, Part of the Primitivo, Week in Vigo
WynChar Diary, April 21
Travel day: Caldas de Reis to Lugo. We finished the Camino Portuguese at Caldas. We didn’t want to do the final legs into Santiago since we had done them in 2016. Tomorrow we will start walking on the Camino Primitivo, called that not because it is primitive but because it is considered to be the first Camino.
We left our spacious apartment and walked to the bus stop. Going out of our building we let in the Correos pack transfer guy who picked up two bags from people staying in the same building.
We had coffee at a pastry shop across the street from the place the bus was going to stop. Wynette ordered a large coffee for me and a regular for her. The waitress converted that into a regular and a small. See photo for the sizes we got.
We took the bus to Santiago, 90 minutes. It was late and we missed the 11:00 bus to Lugo so we took the one at 1:45. We had lunch at a cute little Chinese snack bar, very good. The name of the place was literally “Snack Bar”, in English. Then a bus to Lugo.
Right now we are blogging at a deli/bar inside a grocery store. It has a small deli selection and it also offers coffee and drinks like a normal bar. We have not seen anything like this before.
Miles walked today so far per Wynette’s watch: 4.22. But we may walk around Lugo a bit more.
The Correos guy transferring somebody’s luggage. He had to park way at the end of the street because they were sitting up an outdoor market in the street.Large and small coffees. They threw in a bunch of pastries.Waiting for a busBack in Santiago once again. We zipped into the train station (right next to the bus station) because they have a better cafe.View while blogging: Grocery store cafe/bar/deli. You can see the huge grocery store in the back. They call these stores.”hipermercados”.
