There are several river valleys to be crossed today, however do not fear the elevation gain—It is minimal. A highlight of the day will surely be in Melide, where pulpo is a staple. Our favorite pulperíais Ezequiel. Grab a seat at the communal tables and be on the lookout for the cook with an octopus tattoo.
