Day 2: Oliveiroa

Well, after bragging about missing most of the rain yesterday, we got super soaked today!  We left really early to avoid some of the rain, and walked almost half of our 34 kilometer day nice and dry. It was a bit hard to find the route in the pitch dark, but we managed to keep on course. We were eventually rewarded with a foggy, quiet sunrise!

We left so early, that there wasn't a place open for breakfast, and the first place with a cafe was three hours down the trail.  We saw a cyclist gnawing on a cob of the abundant corn along the road, so we tried it too...almost broke our teeth!
It's livestock feed, not food grade!

On that note, it is harvest time. So once the rain started seeping into our waterproof boots and through the seams of our ponchos, we had the additional fun game of dodge the giant tractors and corn chewers along one lane farm roads!
This is dairy country too, so the roads were coated in cow poop at times, adding additional challenges in our fun walking game! 
We sure enjoy walking in Spain!

Another horreo in front of our hostel. They are made out of stone here and the legs look like mushrooms!
