Portuguese Coastal, Part of the Primitivo, Week in Vigo
An easy day, in photos
We’re getting good at packing the bag for pack transfer. We started using TaxiCamino. Call them up to arrange the transfer. Put an envelope on the bag with the info. Put money in the envelope. They’ll put change back if you didn’t leave the exact amount. This morning we put in a 10 and we got 3 back when we got the bag at the other end. So far, no glitches.Leaving A Cádavo. No fog today. Pretty clouds. It got a little cloudy later. But no rain.The first half of the walk today was rather boring and ugly (and uphill), on a logging road with logged forests on either side. But then the walk turned very nice. Streams, green fields, animals, charming villages.We met a small herd of cows on the trail. There were probably about 20. Makes me nervous walking right beside them with their horns and all. It does happen that a cow will attack a human, but I think it is rare. Worth the slight risk for the fun of meeting the cows, the dogs, and the man with the cows.We also met a donkey.This is in the bar of the place where we are staying tonight. Pension Roma in Castroverde. This is the owner. He said they’ve only been in business for 2 years. Everything is very new and modern. I asked if I could take a photo of his fancy cash register. I didn’t exactly plan (or ask) to take his photo, but he was very pleased that I was impressed by his cash register. I can’t tell you how kind and cheerful and welcoming and helpful everyone we meet is.This is the view from the balcony of our room for tonight. I don’t know if you can see, there is a little castle over toward the left.Our cozy little room tonight with very large balcony. Too bad weather is a bit too cool to enjoy the balcony.

I’d be cautious too around those cows. Even though they probably just want to graze.

I was hoping they weren’t worried about our hiking poles.
