Friday 30th October

As we were about to leave Braganca we spoke to a vanner from Seaton in Devon who had been staying on the Aire. She noticed our van as it had the first 4 characters of its registration plate the same as hers - WA 58. We travelled north west from Branganca initially on minor roads high up in the Serra. (Mountains in Portugal and north west Spain are called Serra. In the rest of Spain Sierra).

We stopped to make a brew of tea near this wild river.

We crossed from Portugal back into Spain, into the region of Galicia. There is a derelict border post here. Maybe it will be recommissioned soon. I hope not.

We stopped for the day at the Galician town of A Rua. We are at the town Aire which is next to this lake a few minutes walk from the town centre.

Here's a view from the Aire towards town.

We had a walk into town and bought a few oddments at the Supermarket - Steve Morley - if you're following this blog - surely these are Pomegranates?

 

There was a really nice sunset over the lake this evening.

There are a few ducks on the lake. We travelled 73 miles (118 kilometres) today.
