To O Cadavo from Fonsagrada – Sunday’s in rural parts – dinner?

17 Jun

This was a very enjoyable stretch with only two steep climbs overall and one very long descent. Best of all was the sunlight and of course the diminishing views of the mountains- still dominating the skyline.

After a couple of hours a welcome little bar where we had a good chat with two Americans from San Diego ;we made a pact – you don’t mention Brexit and we won’t mention Trump – we were all on the same side!

Interesting structures as ever from barns to former pilgrim hospitals The latter now converted in to more modern usage – on the Primitivo a bar/ cafe is as welcome.

O Cadavo is a pleasant little hamlet with one hotel and two Albergues, plus a few cafes – the views are its best recommendation and the friendly inhabitants .

We were assured that there would be at least three places for dinner, bearing in mind it is a Sunday. Not so. The hotel restaurant- our banker – was closed even two of its guests with whom we were hoping to have dinner! So back to the bar next to Porto Santo, where after a 50 minute wait, we enjoyed a Menu Peregrino for €10.00 Super Salad, steak and chips, wine, water, sweet and dessert. Don’t know how they do it….

Mac and I finished with an Ojurro con

Hierbas – a digestif. The boss insisted on topping them up – long live Galician hospitality.
