Camino Ingles, Day 4: Meson do Vento to Sigueiro

We started early, picking up the Camino route through several small, picturesque villages, including the one where we had breakfast (Arua) and the one which had stocked its main square with a huge collection of local ‘relics’, including a massive plastic dinosaur and a vast rusty arch with a couple of old tractors bolted to it as well as the more usual crosses, troughs and effigies of saints (Cruz.) We passed the fine old church the Parroquia de San Pelayo de Buscas but didn’t stop to put a euro in the slot to have a look inside.
