Today we will hike about 24,7 km, temperature is still above average, about 23 degrees, perfect weather conditions. Although according to weather statistics in Galicia we expect rain and fog but we don’t notice anything during our pilgrimage.

We say goodbye to Triacastela!
We have decided to take an alternative route into Sarria via picturesque Samos. The Benedictine monastery of Samos is one of the oldest and largest in Spain. After a quiet hike through the forest we can see the monastery in the valley.

Picturesque Samos.

Today is Palm Sunday.

Lots of people attending church.

We do not forget to sample Samos delights.

Bizcochos of Samos are made in this beautiful old house.

Main street Samos next to the rio Sarria.

Oasis of peace.

We enjoy nature and it’s animals.

A one off Sunday race even frustrates the farmers.

Our dreamhouse.

Storks sitting in his nest.

The camino shell is following us everywhere.

Go Camino extra service :-)
