Today is my 2nd day of walking from O Porriña to Arcade. Long walk today around 23km. I walked the trail with a nice couple from San Francisco. I met this couple at dinner last night.

Today's walk took about 7.2 hrs in total. My walking time was 5.21 hrs and my average walking pace was 13'58"/km. It's a steady accent to Santiago and each day our elevation gain increases as we make our way to our destination.

On the way to Arcade, we stopped for lunch at a fab Mexican restaurant called Vila Bella Café & Bar in Redondela.

I went out for an evening dinner in Arcade and I dined at a restaurant I found using Tripadvisor. Either it was a bad pick or the chef was having an off night, either way the food wasn't great 😞 Not worth a post!

A bit overcast starting off this morning
Clever idea to have a vending machine for walkers on the trail at the front of your house
The downhill trails are much easier this time

Maybe I should have taken the train!
