The Monastery

Shaded trail lined with ancient
stone walls

We crossed into Galicia today. Probably the most beautiful part of Spain and another language to confront. They understand Spanish but we cannot understand a word when they talk to each other. We took an "optional"  trail today so we were nearly alone the entire day and through green lush landscapes. The villages are nearly uninhabited as the young people have left for employment leaving the elderly to still tend to the land.

The view overlooking the monastery was
our reward at the end of the day.
