Santiago de Compostela

We stopped for lunch at a pulperia, a cafe specialising in a local dish of squid which are simply boiled and served with a sprinkling of paprika. Other dishes are available for non squid eaters.
 A view of the meal served with tuna pie, potatoes the dish of squid, bread and the wine and water were served in ceramic bowls.
 His and her coffees!

 A view of the countryside as we passed through some farmland outside Santiago.

 The horse box when we had to say goodbye to our horses.
 My trusted horse Lucena being led off to the horse box to get taken home.
 Our last meal together with a starter of langosterias.
 And a plate of cakes for desert.
 And finally the cathedral in Santiago...
 ...and a selfie just to prove that I had completed the 800 km from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago.
 And one last photo of the horses at the top of a hill with me on the far right.
