DAY 11 TUI - PORRIÑO

The plan was to take a break and lay over at Tui. We then realised we can do nothing with our backpacks until 13:00 when we can book in again. We decided to walk 15 km to the next big town, Porriño.

We arrived early and enjoyed meats, cheese and bread next to the river, while waiting for the albergue to open. We are now relaxing in the small old town center. Later we will go for supper at one of the restaurants that cater for pilgrims.

Today, maybe because of the short walk, was uneventful, but also because we walked 5 km's through the industrial area of Porriño. The route is now busy. Many people are only walking the last 100km to Santiago to get the Compostela. You recognise them immediately. They have a day pack and wear running shoes.

Tomorrow will again be a short stretch of roughly 17 km. We will see the sea tomorrow.
