To Ourense

Left Verin to the light of a waning gibbous moon.  Got the bus back to Xinzo de Limia and carried on in freezing fog for most of the morning.  It brightened up by the time I got to Allariz, a handsome town with two fine bridges over the Rio Arnoia and a huge convent of Santa Clara.

Unfortunately the fog came back as I left town on the road up to Santa Mariňa de Augas Fortes, and mostly stayed with me until the outskirts of Ourense.
 
Ourense seemed bustling and mostly rather ugly.  I was able to have some delicious puplo gallego for supper, which was a plus.
