Day 5 Arzua Monday 6th May 2013
The ponchos, which had cost 6 euro in Palas de Rei proved
one of our better investments on the Camino. The ponchos will not have made any
fashion statement but kept us dry and airy. We felt that if a car driver knocked us
down it was because he intended to.
Barry at the ‘honesty shop’. We were intrigued to come across
a shop in the middle of the country with fruits and drinks on offer with a
suggested payment at our own discretion. We doubted if the idea would take off
outside of the Camino.
This sign marks the spot. Rosario and her husband Jose Manuel run this
excellent bar and tapas café. We innocently ordered some cheese and ham.
Ominously it took about 20 minutes to assemble the meal. When Rosario appeared
with heaped plates of food we protested - it was far too much. Two hours and two
bottles of wine later there was no food left, or wine either. We then departed
on a 20 minute tour of the town. As the rain fell, the author felt it best to
take shelter in the bar with unintended but predictable consequences.
