What to do on a Sunday – No problemo – There is always something on
On Saturday our mail woman dropped the long awaited Amazon US order in our doorway. A nice bag full of books. Thus reading late we woke up suitably late. Nevertheless we had a ”Scarce Swallowtail” having breakfast at the same time so felt not too bad.
After this we headed for the market in Monforte. I have written about this before, market days are on fixed numerical days, so if its a Sunday its still market day.
 
Parking is always a challenge, well that is if you have a car. 
These guys don’t have this problem.Â
These markets still have a “real” feeling.
 From meat (dead and alive), fruit ,cloth to a nice shiny distillery, it’s all there.
After indulging we set off for a bit of driving in direction of Ferreira,here we stopped briefly at the bakery (Terraza) to pickup some small and sweet cakes for later. From Ferreira we took the road to Fronton. This first leads up high, with some brilliant views and later drops down via an abandoned village to a bridge across the river Sil.
Before crossing we parked and walked up to the San Esteban station (you can drive up, but may have to park on the rails….). Here you find a small restaurant and we were lucky to get a table for a spot of lunch.Â
Having had sustenance on good Galician fare, we ambled back to the car and drove in direction of Os Peares along the river Sil. Half way, on the other side, we could see San Cosmede, the end of the walk Pombeiro to San Cosmede. From there we took the fast road to Monforte. Arriving home we admired our now nearly finished kitchen and retired for a spot of reading onto our “beach”. 
Just a perfect Sunday.
