Between Salceda and Santa Irene, about 14 or 15 ks of the walk done this morning. An elderly man digs post holes in a very green field. This is typical country from here until Santiago de Compostela. The gums have taken over from the oaks almost completely.

Santo Irene, 2.5 kilometers from Pedrouzo where we will stay our final night outside Santiago. Pedrouzo proved fairly uninteresting, and a bit of a disappointment as a last stop over before Santiago de Compostela. Not much to the town, and described in the pilgrim´s guide as "not very pilgrim friendly". We would have to have agreed, though the accommodation was fine.
