Our destination for the day was Santiago de Compostela and we were hoping to get there early enough to still be able to take a good walk through the historic part of the inner city. We departed in clear sunshine and were worried that it might get too hot during the day. Well, as the day went on the opposite was the case. We traveled on both countryside and national roads, most of which were a pleasure. Unfortunately, I only switched on our track logger 20 kms into the trip with the result that the first 20 kms are not included in the track log for the day. Still, after making allowance for this, we reached our destination after 160 kms.
The hotel we had booked was situated within the historic inner city and our navigator had a hard time guiding us there. What we found was a quaint little hotel which was well run and could not be better situated. We enjoyed an extensive walk through the narrow alleys of the old town which included a visit of a live church service in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostila. The day was concluded with a nice dinner in one of the many tourist restaurants in the area. I enjoyed what was probably going to be the last Bacalhau for some time.
