Porrino to Redondela

This will a short entry because I walked in rain the whole day.  When there is rain the camera finds a hiding place deep in the pack.
Another beautiful public space.  This is between rain showers.  Spain and Portugal have put a lot of space, time and money into creating very people-centered environments.  The key was the money, a lot of which came the European Union and flowed from the richer countries to the poorer.  
The building in the center is the government alburgue in Redondela.  It is a incredible remodel of a 16th century manor tower house.  The lower part behind is the dormitory which sleeps 42 and is a bit tight for space.
It rained all day and so everyone was wet.  Wearing rain gear usually means not getting wet from the rain but getting soaked by sweat.  So, we have no choice to hang our wet gear anywhere and everywhere to dry.
Next morning.  Still raining, rained all night.  If I drink another cup of coffee, will it slow down, maybe quit?  Not likely.  Well, then, I'm off.
