Our overnight in Padrón was most enjoyable. This is a sleepy little town on the Sar River. As we were now just a day out of Santiago, many Camino friends were also spending the night. Enjoying an afternoon beer with them on one of the restaurant terraces is what the Camino is all about. We spent the night at the Albergue Corredoiras. This was one of the newer albergues that we stayed in and one of the few that actually accepted credit cards. Along with only four other pilgrims, we pretty much had the albergue to ourselves. Walking off seasons has its perks! We also treated ourselves to pulpo, octopus, for the last time on this trip. Delicious! Between the convent and the church, there is a great deal of history or lore associated with Saint James in Padrón.
