Castroverde to Lugo

Wednesday 8th October. In the morning my boots were so dirty I had trouble recognising them. Headed out in drizzle which turned in very heavy rain for hours, I am soaked through. The albergue is very basic no washing machine or dryer,  luckily the hospitalero eventually turned on the heaters so we could get some clothes dry. The Cathedral is quite an amazing place, way over the top with elaborate altars. Lugo is an old walled roman town and between showers manage to circumnavigate the 2kms around the top of the wall, allowing an interesting view of the old town and the surrounding suburbia. Attend mass in the Cathedral to see Martin take part in the service, then dinner around the corner which becomes packed at 2200 hrs as the locals come out to dine.
