The outskirts of Melide had some interesting old tumbledown stone homes.

And some featured simple but colorful embellishments that were quite touching in their humanity.

Some fancier pads also had fancier flowers.

And soon JC made an appearance on the weathered Cruceiro de Melide, with a beautiful Canary Island Palm tree as a backdrop.

The pipes coming out of the lions’ mouths kind of spoiled the fountain, but I guess it had to be done avoid deterioration.

 

This cool old building had a simple but beautiful enclosed sun porch.

A colorful mural near the cathedral welcomed peregrinos.

And a store across the street sold a variety of goods, including fishnet stockings!  You don’t see those very often any more.  The cathedral’s reflection in the window made an interesting juxtaposition.  I love random scenes like that!

Time to stamp the credenciales again.
