Day 8 - Palas de Rei to Melida - 23 May

Tiny short day today of about 14 km! The weather forecast is for 29*. We had breakfast at 7am and set out on the walk at 8:45.

We had a very relaxing walk through lovely tree lined groves that provided shade - too much in the morning but we were grateful for them a little later on.  We saw another horse riding pilgrim and a few bicigrinos (people doing the Camino on push bikes).

Cressida knew the best part of Melida is the old town so we found it - about 100m from where we were staying (excellent planning). We had lunch/dinner at O Recuncho do convento a very nice newly renovated bar with wonderful food but they will not give you ice in drinks.
We don't know why.

19.3 km today.
