O Cebreiro

Last night was spent in the most amazing albergue. We had a wonderful dinner consisting of butternut squash soup, followed by tuna salad, followed by spaghetti, followed by baked custard. Of course, there was the usual bread, wine and water.

At 6am we were woken up with music resounding around the hostel.
There were pictures of the Dalai Lama and various Buddhas and Buddhist prayer flags.
We left after a lovely breakfast to Buddhist chants.
A very different experience.

Just before O Cebreiro we entered Galicia.
Being in O Cebreiro was like being in Scotland. Everything was Celtic with even Celtic music being played on the bagpipes,
The scenery is spectacular.

I continued on after O Cebreiro to Fonfria, another 12 kms.
