It had rained during the night so it was misty again. The route climbs out of Negreira through woodland paths. Soon we were above the mist and greeted with a scenic picture of the lights of the town below.
It was a steady climb for most of the first 10km where we stopped for breakfast. The weather was very changeable, however my newly purchased umbrella in Santiago, kept the rain off me.
At 20km we had lunch in Santa Marina with Christina from Italy. We had met the night before arriving into Santiago; she was stopping here however. After a couple of beers we set off for the last stretch.
We had one more hill to conquer before the descent into Olveiroa. We were racing the rain again, as it was forecasted for heavy downpours at 6pm.
When 6pm arrived, it very much kept to the forecast. By the time we reached the albergue, we were very soggy pilgrims.
