Day 28 Hospital to Melide

Today I left the albergue in Hospital on route to Melide a larger town some 30.5 kms away.
The weather is indicating that we might get some rain today.
We start the walk climbing to Sierra Ligonde a steep climb first thing in the morning.
I have some breakfast in Portos some 9 kms from the start- a fairly long walk before eating something - but there were no bars open before this place.
I travel through the larger town of Palais de Rei today. From here to Melide is a fairly wild descent to Melide.
Melide is a larger town which is an administrative area for the government of the larger town.
We reached this place around 2pm and choose albergue O'Cruceiro, a great choice.
Melide is well known as the place to eat pulpo. We join our friends Carlos a Spanish pilgrim- who we have walked with over a week or so and his companion Alfonso a Dr from Holland for pulpo and langostinos at a local restaurant.
Tomorrow we are going to Salceda our last stage prior to reaching Santiago de Compostela on Thursday afternoon.
Bye for now. Jose
