We arrived in Santiago e Compostelo today,  with a little rain of course,  with a lunch stop in Pontevedra

We are on Galicia now and the food is little different but just as delicious!  For lunch,  the unique thing we had was calamari croquettes with the black squid ink.

Our lodging for this 3 night stay is Pension, Rua Nova, just a 3 minute walk from the cathedral.   Our room is right above the door

The Camino is marked with the images is the scallop shell,  a symbol of Santiago, St James. The shell is a metaphor, its lines representing the different routes pilgrims travel from all over the world, all walking trails leading to one point: the tomb of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela.

Tonight we had other great seafood, baby scallops,  razor class, and octopus Galacia style.   We shared it all,  plus a salad and toast with tomato,  apple and meat…. it was delicious!   Oh course we had dessert too! Cheesecake that was a little savory,  tiramisu, a berry ice cream and a lemon ice cream!
