The colours of autumn

I am now in Lugo, which looks amazing, 2000 year old Roman walls ! And some of the best preserved Roman remains anywhere, there will be a lot of photographs taken tonight and tomorrow. So far it is a lovely place, not too busy and with lovely little plazas to explore, not to mention the Roman walls, which fully encircle the old city and around which I'll walk this evening. 

Autumn has arrived. The mornings are cold and sometimes misty, the afternoons pleasant, sunny but cool, and the evenings distinctly chilly. I'll let the photographs talk ....


Leaving Fonsagrada pre-sunrise


A hospitales, early Christian pilgrim's hostel, in use until early last century and now being restored, not by any big organisation but by the local village


Dolmens in the mist, I would suspect they are Pre-Christian 


Very well-placed little bar, as we walked out of the misty mountains. Coffee, bocadillo and a bottle of water were very welcome


And another peregrino dog enjoying a break. This one was gorgeous, a very handsome dog


This morning, leaving Castroverde just as the sun rose


Autumn fields, after the harvest has been brought in


Sunflowers facing the sun and warmth


My simple but very comfortable pension for the next couple of days ! No wifi, but I am sure I'll find a few cafés with wifi in which to lurk.
