Thursday 15 October Melide to Arzua (14.33 km / 8.9 mi)

Another gorgeous walk today with better weather… comfortable 24C/75F and much less humid. There were a lot more hills than I remember on this stretch but that just improved the scenery! We checked into another quaint hotel, greeted by a very welcoming host, at about 1pm just as our luggage arrived. Beth treated us to a decadent lunch at Casa Nené.
