Pontevedra 12.7km (Hotel Avenida)

Even though today’s route was one of the shorter ones we decided to get away early as the forecast was for a better morning. We headed out of Arcade with the sun coming up at the crazy time of 8.15. A lovely walk through the old town and over the old bridge, climbing through the outlying villages till we hit forest paths. The paths were really nice to walk on and the weather was holding. Our only stops on the walk was to get a couple of stamps for our Camino passport and do a little trail side shopping with a guy doing leather products and Camino souvenirs. We were pushing on as we didn’t want to get wet again and the walking was easy. Had the NRL grand final radio coverage on ABC going as we walked. Arrived in Pontevedra around 11.30 and could get into our room but the bags hadn’t arrived so we had a shower and got some lunch before siesta time. We explored Pontevedra later in the arvo, a really beautiful little town with lots of squares and no vehicles. After dinner we were able to see Pontevedra at night which was nice. Another big day coming up tomorrow.Read more
