Arteixo to Betanzos

After a good sleep at the special Balneario de Arteixo, options are open, depending on where the energy goes ... no epic treks today ... map suggests 4 days across to Ribadeo ... Caminos Ingles crossing from Coruna and Ferrol for reflex return to yellow arrows ... bus direct from Coruna, an easy couple of hours early morning, suburbs all the way ...

Breakfast bar at 7am busy with young people still awake from Friday night ... a generous portion of tortilla and fresh bread fills the gap from last night's skipped supper ...

Coruna comes soon enough and bus station offers few options ... bus to Ribadeo not among them and left field long run to Santander on Paris bus falls down for lack of a seat ... feet, somewhat affronted by bus talk itch for a brisk walk 22 km to Betanzos, on the Camino Ways, though arrows conspicuously absent ... at early lunch tortilla, 12.30, the N-V1 is recommended, the old road to Madrid, which indeed arrives at Betanzos after much hard shouldering and a few breaks, including 7 km out at Bar Centro, where Andres and Sonia offer photo, good English from working in London, and a route to the coast on the way to Ribadeo ...

6.30 in town ... and pilgrim Albergue comfy enough for €6 and decision in the morning which way to go ... and how ...
