Sarria to Portomarin
There were noticeably many more people on the Camino with us today. We passed the 100 kilometer marker and continued to walk through the countryside in Galicia. The original town of Portomarin is underwater. It was abandoned and rebuilt on higher ground after the original site was flooded due to a dam project. However, two churches were taken apart and reconstructed in the new town. We are staying in a Pousada hotel that was purpose built in the early 1960s after the dam project. Most Pousadas are historic buildings that have been repurposed for tourism. Not this one!
