Day 30. Morgade to Portomarin

Light rain greeted us this morning but soon the skies began to brighten. A beautiful walk today that often went through wooded areas. The rain and fog made it look like a fairytale scene. 
The region of Galicia has placed these markers every half kilometre all the way to Santiago. It's nice to have another sign to look for to make sure you are following the right path. Today we passed the 90 kilometre mark. Not long to go. 
Submerged under this reservoir are the ruins of a village that had monuments and a Romanesque church. They were taken apart and rebuilt in the present city before the valley was flooded due to a dam. 
This steep staircase is part of the original medieval bridge that now leads to the city. 
The stairs lead to this gate. 
Another pilgrim statue only this one is pointing in the wrong direction. What is that about??!!??  
Buen Camino.
