Thankfully, nearly everyone had the right wet weather gear, for our first day on the Camino. We had a great breakfast at Hotel Costa Verde and set off for Baiona, in steady rain, under heavy cloud. However, it didn’t dampen the group’s spirits as we made our way along rustic paths and cycle ways towards Baiona.
Coffee stop at the “ Muino” Campsite, where we were well received and revived.

The views were still awesome despite the drizzle and low cloud. Everyone did well climbing 170 metres up through the pass and onto some small hamlets above Baiona, which we could soon see below us.
An eccentric” Well “stopped us in our tracks.
We spent a couple of hours in pretty Baiona .
Then, on to the the local bus to Vigo,€2.20 avoiding an uninspiring Walk into the city. We still needed the Google Map reading skills of some of the group to get us to our hotel, passing two impressive sculptures, en route.
Hotel Atlantico, where a rather frazzled receptionist attempted to organise the rooms – eventually sorted – good news, the ever reliable Correos ( Spanish Post Office ) had delivered all our luggage- take note Iberia Express, our member’s Case has still not arrived.
Menu Pelegino for dinner – a little earlier to bed for most – hopefully, slightly less damp tomorrow as we make for Redondela.
Thnks to Hannah and Paul Carpenter for some of the photos.
