Big rain, Big hills

 The Camino goes past this fountain in the city of Pontevedra, where you can see a group of teenagers walking in the background.

I stayed in a castle turned into a hotel with a dramatic lobby.

The city is surrounded by hills and the walk is mostly along dirt paths, through vineyards with some challenging hills. There are ancient water fountains along the way.

Fortunately, it didn’t started pouring buckets of rain, until I reached the hotel.  Last night’s hotel was on top of a hill, next to a turbulent river.  It fed the hotel pool!

It is an old mill: the grounds and stone walls are beautiful. Definitely tied for best hotel so far.

And for the musicians in the audience, this guy is playing a Galician gaita,  which sounds like a bagpipe to me.  It is still raining hard, so my walk today was in a taxi.
