Muxía to Parador de Santo Estevo

This morning we checked out of the Parador of Muxía and drove two and a half hours south east to a little town near Ourense where we are staying at the Parador of Santa Estevo. On our way we stopped at another wonderful spot for a picnic lunch. This time we were overlooking the Miño River.

After our arrival at the Parador we had our welcome drinks and then played cards for a bit. Then, after a bit of a rest, we took a mile and a half hike from the Parador to some abandoned Muiños (mills). It was a beautiful hike with great views and lots of wildflowers.

For dinner we ate in the Parador dining room.
