One quarter of the journey is still there, and Li Shenxing is about to enter the last region of the pilgrimage: Galicia.

Galicia is most famous for its long rainy days.

It is said that Galicia can be compared with Ireland, Seattle and other places. Because it is located in the northwest of Spain, the Pacific Ocean is in the west and the Lyon Mountains to the east, the water vapor coming from the Pacific Ocean rises along the mountains and forms rain. Moreover, such terrain rain does not matter whether it is season or time. The so-called "there must be rainy days on the pilgrimage road" means that it is either raining or the section of Galicia that is about to rain.

And it is like this Galicia. Li Shenxing only encountered rain once during his last week's walk, and the duration was not long. He was so lucky.

Get up early that morning and Li Shenxing actually saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance. You should know that the mountains in northern Spain are not high at altitude, and they have not been more than 2,000 meters along the way. It is rare to see the snow in the distance.

At dusk the day before yesterday, we were still hiking at scenic spots with crowded crowds of people, playing and clinking glasses in the taverns crowded by locals. After only a few hours, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu bathed in the sun again, set out from the town, crossed the stone bridge, crossed the fields, faced the snow-capped mountains, passed the village, walked on muddy paths or steep slopes, breathed the freshest air, felt the most real nature, and let the soul relax.

The sun, the haze, the strong wind, the rain seemed to be nothing to stop them from walking.

It turns out that besides computers and mobile phones, and in addition to the repeated monotonous life in the secular world, we can also live so heavily, so three-dimensionally, and so touch ourselves!

At noon, when I was passing by a small town square, I found that the crowd was extremely lively. After asking, I learned that today was the day for the town to go to the market.

After walking on the pilgrimage for so long, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu decided to go in and take a look.

At the beginning, the stalls in front were selling some clothes, daily necessities, and food vendors. However, the quality was no different from the market level of small commodities in Yiwu, so the two of them were not interested in this.

Walking quickly to the depths of the market, the style suddenly changed, and the two entered the food festival. Looking at the various food stalls, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu could no longer move. Since there was not much delicious here, they would no longer look for him for lunch.

After some exploration, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu arrived at a barbecue restaurant in front of the door. Li Shenxing and Xiaohu ordered barbecue ribs and sausages, as well as the specialty of the Galician region - cooking octopus, put live octopus into a deep pot like Chinese noodles and cooked them. After cooking, take it out and cut it into pieces, then put it on a plate and drizzle it with olive oil, sprinkle with chili powder, and finally you can start eating.

The octopus tastes very tender and has a soft skin. It can slide smoothly into the esophagus after chewing it for a few seconds. The taste is very wonderful. It is a bit different from the octopus you usually eat, but the taste is very good.

After eating, the two of them burped and continued on the road while touching their round belly. However, if they eat too much, they will feel particularly sleepy. It would be great if they could sleep for an hour and a half at this time, but unfortunately they could only endure the sleepiness and continue on the road.

The village where I settled today is called Linares. This village is very small, with only a few houses located alone on the side of the road, even if it is a village, Li Shenxing, walked all the way to the village and felt that there were more dogs than people.

Although the village is small, there are two inns. The two inns are about the same size, so they chose to stay at the nearest one.

After washing up, hang the washed clothes directly on the rope facing the road, because there is no place to dry in the yard.

There were no other restaurants in the village, so I had to ask the inn's boss to help prepare dinner. Li Shenxing ordered macaroni soup and added the green leaves in the salad to the soup and turned into a bowl of green chicken noodle soup. Seeing this, Xiaohu hurriedly praised Li Shenxing for being creative.

Since you have arrived in the Galicia region, you must try the famous white wine here. Speaking of which, no matter how much you eat Spanish olives and wine, you can't eat enough, mainly because you still have a lot of food.

After dinner, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu went out for a walk, and then returned to the road railing opposite the shelter and sat for an hour. The main reason was that the village was too small and there was no place to go.

Sitting on the road railing, Xiaohu and Li Shenxing talked a lot, talking about his past self, his insights on the hiking pilgrimage road, and some future plans.

Li Shenxing also talked with Xiaohu about some experiences, his newly graduated, and some interesting things about traveling around the world, which made Xiaohu yearn for it.

Although there are few vehicles passing by on the roadside, when the two of them don’t talk, they can even hear birds singing, cows mooing, wind blowing leaves, and all natural sounds.

Watching the light slowly turn golden, watching the master rushing the cattle home, I really want to pray to heaven for time to remain still at that moment, everything in nature and everything in itself return to peace, the best moment of the month of the pilgrimage.

The next day, the two woke up very early. It was probably the only one in the shelter last night, without any other snoring, and the quality of sleep was very good.

The shelter did not provide breakfast, so the two set out in the early morning in a dim morning. Walking on the hillside, the sky slowly shone. Looking back at the lights of the village in the valley where they settled last night, and the faint dawn on the top of the mountain in the distance, walking in the warm and humid morning breeze of Galicia, this is also one of the fun of hiking.

It is said that the climate in Galicia is very similar to Northern Ireland, with a lot of rain. Even on days when it is not raining, the air is very humid and always filled with water vapor. The sun that you can see occasionally is just a vague yellowish ball, which is completely different from the dry, blazing, and golden Spain that people think of.

However, when Li Shenxing and the first hill they arrived at after leaving, they were greeted by the spectacular sunrise.

Before, there was too much information about the rainy and foggy Galicia in his mind, so when he saw the huge gold covering the world, Li Shenxing once doubted his eyes, and he never thought that his character would be so good.

It took me 9km to find a bar serving breakfast in a village. The village was full of old stone houses, and except for the elderly, they were guardian dogs. Li Shenxing basically did not see young people.

This situation is the same as in most rural areas in China. Young people basically go to big cities, and few people are willing to stay in the village.

After having a simple breakfast, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu continued to set off.

Galicia's animal husbandry is the main source of economy. The roadside is surrounded by herds of cattle and sheep, but the mountain roads you walk are always covered with cow dung and drive away your feet.

Moreover, the air smell here is different from other places, always with a "scent" of cow dung.

I rested in a relatively large town at noon, and the Spanish potato cakes were still unchanged for lunch. It would be great if I could have a bowl of hot beef noodles at this time.

Without stopping too much, I started moving forward after lunch.

Along the way, I feel that the Galicia region attaches great importance to pilgrimage. Not only are the road signs very standard, but the road conditions are also very good. The mountains are undulating and beautiful. Compared with the previous section from Burgos to Leon, which was walking next to the highway, dry, straight and without a tree, this is simply a paradise for hikers.

Yellow arrows are still the most loyal companion, and most of the paths are lined with green trees, especially like the magic forest described in the novel.

The two walked silently, unknowingly, and finished 36km and settled in a small town called Sarria. After entering the town, they both found a newly opened shelter, saying it was a shelter, but both the appearance and equipment were more like a fashionable youth hostel.

With the boss' recommendation, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu came to a restaurant by the river to eat seafood. Although it was just the simplest way to cook, it turned into a delicious food under the magic of Spanish sea salt. The key point is that a plate of shrimp that is as big as 10 euros, which is really cost-effective.

After eating meat for so long, I finally could change my taste. Li Shenxing and Xiaohu even ate too much, so they simply wandered around the town after dinner.
