Longish,undulating climb out of Xunqueria, after crossing the river, reflecting its borderline trees.
Along wooded paths,after passsjng a dead snake on the road. There have not been too many spottings of wildlife, despite walking in areas where it abounds – Some deer, a variety of birds, goats, mules and pigs. We heard the cuckoo call quite often. Pigs under your parlour are not unusual up here, nor chickens next to your kitchen.
The walk was mainly on asphalt and in well tended land, occasionally on paths. Good views, even of Ourense in the distance.
Signs of pilgrimage were evident, even a restplace, on the main road into Ourense’s suburbs.
We approached the industrial poligino and met a quite different scene.
We passed into the city, after taking advantage of a mirrored door. ” Here’s Looking At You, “.
No, I am not wearing a skirt!
Pleased with our Hotel, Mino and met up,later with our German amigos, Joffrey and Helmutt, plus Stephen and we had a good catch up, over a few beers. Then Mac & I went for Tapas . Very enjoyable , but passed on the Orellas ( pigs’ ears ).
Look away now, if you’re at all squeamish…..in full technicolor.
” Did You Ever See My Tail”? We might, tonight !
