After our night out on the Tapas itโs a quiet start, but we have some errands this morning. Our Irish sim has a message stating our EU data has completed, so itโs time for a Spanish sim and we need to do some washing.
Bit hard carrying a bag of washing 500m to the laundromat so we relocate to the southern side of the USC leaving us a 100m walk. As itโs just 9am itโs no problem, nothing happens in Spain until 10am, which seems to be clock-on time.
After a little shopping around, the telco Orange offer the best data v cost sim. The girl in the shop activates it and checks it works in our dongle. By the time thatโs done, Pam has the washing in the dryer. A big bag of washing done and dried for โฌ7. The laundromat has excellent wifi as well so we update all our apps and move some photos onto the blog.
So we roll out of Santiago smelling a lot better than we came in. We find a Lidl on the way out, do a quick shop including a bag of ice (โฌ0.75). We have a new fridge strategy for our trip this year. On arriving in Spain we purchased a small esky for our beer and wine. The fridge stays much colder if itโs opened less often. Pam says a cheap wine tastes a lot better if itโs ice cold. Shopping done we continuing on the N550 south.
A couple of random photos as we pass through Vilagarcia, there is a service point here, so we do what needs doing and keep going.
Cambados, Galicia, Spain
After some R+R, we walk into the old town for a look. 
At the top of the rise we find the Convent of San Francisco 
We find it open and have a look around.

The further we walk the more people we find. 
We continue off on to the Plaza de Fefiรฑans. The plaza is cornered by grande houses and restaurants.
An odd photo I know but there was a barrier and a garbage bin at ground level so I did my best to โchurch it upโ. 
The magnificent Igrexa de San Benito on another corner, but it was sadly closed.
We wake in the morning to all sorts of noises to find itโs market day. Damn Pam loves a market. 
Within an hour our peaceful parking spot is full of locals coming to the markets.
We go for our usual walk finding this causeway leading to a small island in the bay. Mind you the tide is very low this morning. 
On the island the remains of a watchtower built more than a thousand years ago to watch and warn of Viking attack.
We manage to escape Cambados just as our car-park becomes a gridlocked. Of the small towns we have visited in Spain to date, Cambados is our favourite.
Michael and Pam
