Betanzos to Casa Julia Cafe Bar
The heavy mist hung in the air and a light drizzle provided the weather conditions for the first part of the day. It's always an interesting decision as to whether to get into full wet gear as the weather is so changeable.
The walk through the Galician countryside was very enjoyable particularly as the mist began to rise and the sun break through.
I walked with Georg and Claudia and met up with the Aussies too from time to time. Forests of eucalyptus and wooded glades are a feature of this part of rural Galicia and there is sparce population.
Completely out of the blue at lunchtime an amazing bar/restaurant appeared in the middle of nowhere. An artist and writer, well known in the area has built a place perfectly positioned to provide food and drink for pilgrims as well as an opportunity to display his paintings.
The final 6kms was very picturesque, walking through fields with cows, 'burbling' streams and hilly tracks before I reached Julia's bar.
