Palas está dividida por un par de grandes carreteras que se tuercen y giran a través de la ciudad. Después de bajar la escalera, y con el albergue municipal a su izquierda, el camino a la derecha conduce a un supermercado y de vuelta a Portomarin. Directamente a bares y restaurantes y albergues y a la carretera fuera de la ciudad.

History

El origen del nombre Palas de Rei, "Palacio del Rey", se debe al último rey visigodo que gobernó España. Witiza tuvo un breve reinado, de 700-709, y solo tenía 14 años cuando fue ungido. La familia gobernó toda la península ibérica desde Toledo y no fue hasta el año 701 que Witiza llegó a Galicia, probablemente a Tui; su migración fue provocada tanto por una invasión bizantina como por la propagación de la plaga desde Constantinopla. Su reinado duró poco, pero su pueblo homónimo aquí en el camino permanece. Para que conste, de hecho, era un cogobernante junto a su padre, pero "Palacio del Medio Rey" carecía de cierto talento.

The Road

Ahora ha entrado en territorio de eucalipto, y aunque hay parches de viejos bosques de robles que se pueden encontrar, esta especie no indígena se ha apoderado del paisaje y se ha convertido en un símbolo de Galicia.

Breakfast was good and the people who work there are nice but they said they have no stamp!

Ate here after needing a break from all those pilgrim menus. Amazing food. English/Irish couple run this. It’s very small so go early and be prepared to wait in their tiny downstairs bar. If you don’t rave about the food you will be the first!

A Reloxería is one of the few phenomenal little gems of the Camino. It sits on a side street and up a small hill, easily found on Google maps. They had a wonderful vegetarian lasagna in the afternoon so I went back for the soap del dia at 7:00. It did not disappoint.

I just ate at A Reloxería, and oh my was it delicious. More expensive than most restaurants, but not insane. I had a choice to order a la carte, 25 euro menu, or 35 euro menu… I chose the 35 because of what I wanted was on that one. But started with a little chorizo/potato bite that I didn’t even order. I got the scallops, a gourmet burger with real roasted potatoes with sauce, dessert and 2 glasses of wine. The service was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it!
