Lugo, day two

Another beautiful day in Lugo for wandering around. Spring flowers are beginning to bloom, even in the walls of buildings. After a morning in the town museum, which included a collection of sundials, we rook a hike out of the city to a first century Roman bridge.

More and more signs are appearing to mark the pilgrim way to Santiago de Compostela. Lugo was on the earliest of the pilgrim ways, the trail cutting across the city. The modern route, favored by most pilgrims, sadly bypasses Lugo, although I have seen several pilgrims on the streets and even in the hotel. They are easy to spot with backpack, walking stick and coquille, the symbol of St James.
