Miraz to Sobrado dos Monxes

Stage: 30

Walked: 30,25 km

Planned: 25,5 km

Steps: 35,114 

I had a great night and woke up quite late (finally) - 6:45 am.  After a lovely breakfast (two very large coffee mugs - brewed in the Italian press) and chat with many of them (including two Japanese ladies who were making onigiris for the day and gave me one to go), I headed out at 8:30 which is the latest I have ever left an albergue. I sincerely didn’t want to leave. A few meters down the road I found two ladies from Barcelona (Aida and Marina) and we walked all the way to Sobrado. They both had started in Ribadeo and were struggling with blisters and pains. We stopped for beers and food at km 20. I then arrived in Sobrado Monastery (built over the 8th century ruins)  which has an Albergue within. The experience was simply unreal. It is by far the best stay of this Camino. I had lunch and did the tour of the place.
