As you might have worked out by now there are no flat stages in the Camino, and today I did more climbing and then a significant descent into the town of Portomarin.
This last town proved to be very attractive with a small but great plaza and 12C church of San Nicholas. The interesting thing to note about Portomarin is that this town was rebuilt some 70 years ago after the building of a dam in the area. The church was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt in the new location. Each stone was numbered prior to being rebuilt.
We reached Hospital de la Cruz around 2 pm, just before the rain. Fairly cold today. This is a very small village with only a few houses and the Albergue and the mandatory restaurant.
The albergue used to be a rural primary school.
Bye for now. Jose
