Day 15: Continued Trek to Melide


Sign post that lead the way. 

The people here seem to work very hard on their farms without benefit of John Deere. The big farms have the huge tractors and trucks but the average Spaniard farmer is doing heavy physical labor --both men and women. They all seem old, too. I know that 50 is the new 40, but definitely not in Spain!  All the young people (age less than 35) seem to be gone to the cities. The people in these small villages are all old!

This is the oldest crucifix on the Camino. It dates back to the 14th century. For some odd reason, Jesus is sitting down.
