CP Day 4 A Guarda to Oia - 13 kms

A magical day. Lazy sleep in at the Hotel Convento de San Benito, fabulous breakfast (brunch really), a stroll down to the fishing harbour we could see from our room. Checked out at 12 to walk for just three hours along a beautiful path to small village of Oia - we had the coastline to ourselves as far as we could see - and settle in to lovely Casa Puertas, where we are the only guests today. We are walking a pilgrims' Way but we could hardly claim to be peregrinos. Hostels, hotels and Casas are such good value, we haven't yet opted for an albergue.

Though windy at times today, the weather owes us nothing. We have been travelling for 30 days, not a drop of rain and only a few clouds. As for today, the chances of walking on the Atlantic coast of Galicia in April under blue skies are  ... can only think my weather angel must still be hovering nearby. Even if this is our last fine day in Galicia from here to Santiago, we've had more than our share of sunshine.
