Autumn colours surround a field on the edge of Vega de Valcarce. After we had arrived and showered we went down to a little restaurant on the edge of town for a couple of beers and greeted a number of pilgrims going past. A couple stopped to share a beer with us, including Camilla. Camilla informed us that Rose had decided to go back to Leon this day. We had seen them talking at a rest point on today's journey. We had a lunch of rabbit which, whilst only fair, was a fitting dish considering the countryside. Later we had a couple of beers in a spot more frequented by pilgrims and locals, but it lacked the normal "off the track" atmosphere of other camino watering holes. We were entertained by a bloke going through a mid life crisis wearing tight leathers and in command of a beautiful Triumph motor bike. However, he failed dismally in his effort to impressed the ladies present!
