Day 17: Onward to Portomarin

image.jpg

Many small pleasures today and arrived Portomarin with tired shins, but without incident.  Lots of Peregrinos join the Camino at Sarria because it is just a bit more than 100km to Santiago and you have to do a verified 100km to get your "compostela" at the end. We had a gaggle of teen girls, a bag piper, folks we've seen since Leon, and lots of new faces from around the world, along with Galacian farm life.

What is this architectural item? They suddenly appeared today along the Camino, and we learned later that they are typical Galician grain holders.
