Text message from Ann today to say that she is making good progress although having some trouble with her left lower leg which is painful and swollen. She thinks that she will perhaps have to slow down the pace of her walking. She is also wondering if she will go on to Finnistere which is about another 90 miles west of Santiago de Compostella.
She is currently walking with an Australian pair, Andrew and Neral, who Ann describes as fast walkers
Today she is staying at Portomarin which she describes as a beautiful town. It is famous for its bakery which cooks a special kind of almond tart called a Torte de Santiago. It is as large as a plate and very filling. It is decorated with a cross that is a combination of a sword and a shepherd's crook.
Ann - 344 miles covered, 63 miles to go.
