Day 8--Oia to A Ramallosa

On Day 8, our Camino took us from Oia—Viladesuso—Mougas—Baiona—A Ramallosa, 19.9 km (11.9 mi), 5:25, 113m up/6m down. It was a long walking day following the coastline and past small towns. It was uphill on the 2nd half through forest.

Shortly after leaving Oia, we found a memorial where pilgrims left their rocks.

Some of the rocks were beautifully painted.

The path along the ocean was beautiful and we saw more windmills.
