- Next story Day 30 – the crowds on the Camino post Sarria. Good thing is there are still enough pockets of traveling where you don’t have to walk among the crowds.
- Previous story Day 30 – Portomarin – took this picture from the town of Portomarin to show you the reservoir and how it is well below the city. Crazy thing is that the city used to be down at that level. In 1962 they moved the town up the hill! The towns most historic buildings were dismantled stone by stone and reassembled above where the city lies now.
