💭 Day 7 Thoughts:
It was a nice decision to stay in Saxamonde instead of pushing towards Redondela—we had the entire Albergue O Corsico all to ourselves (while we heard Redondela was packed), and it was quiet and beautiful. We also had the most ‘magical’ and memorable lunch at Fran Hamburgueseria (O Porriño)—the owner is also a magician and gave us a free magic show plus liquor shots to send us on our way.

Bom caminho/buen camino,
