Caldas de Reis to Valga

The days seem to be running together.  The Galician countryside is green, wet and lush.  St. James and scallop shells are everywhere, on roadside crosses, chapels and churches.  I'll just put up some photos from the last two days to give readers a taste.

The hot water fountain in Caldas de Reis.  The water is supposed to be 100 degrees. Caldas was a Roman town known for it's healthy hot water - 2000 years ago!

Another view of the Roman bridge in Caldas de Reis.

Not many more churches, I promise.  But compare this Spanish church with the earlier blog photos of Portuguese churches.

The three rules for a pilgrimage are: eat, sleep and walk.  Dinner in Valga was a Parrillada restaurant about a block from the alburgue.  Parrillada is BBQ.  This was preceded by a beautiful lettuce salad.
