I was hoping to leave earlier but had to take pictures with daylight. The albergue was really nice and modern and super high on a mountain. Getting there was painful on the bicycle but the views andRead more
Between Viana do Castelo and Baiona
June 6, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
All sort of terrain to cycle... And some I couldn't and had to push the bike. But the views between the ocean and the mountains, forest, and little towns were amazing.

Waited a few minutes to cross, had a beer and in bolhão de bacalhau and a beef one (where are the veggies?! Lol)
The driver was really entertaining for the 5 minutes it took to cross. Telling usRead more

And just like that I'm in Spain for the first time. Time change happened in less than 5 minutes losing one hour like nothing.
Arriving to Baiona
June 6, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
First town in Spain I'll be staying overnight, checked in to the Albergue one block from the beach on the ocean. Really cool city, with a well preserved fort and a bay. Don't let the empty streetsRead more
Eating in Baiona

This was worth making a separate footprint. It was delicious!
And yes, I was hungry and tired.

Celebrations for the 450 years and streets
Baiona's sunset
June 6, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
What a delight to see this sunset from the other side of the Atlantic. I guess over the Atlantic as in the Americas we might see it over the Pacific.

Walking inside Baiona's Fort
June 6, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
I should be sleeping by then for the next day cycle. But walking inside a medieval fort at night beats sleeping in the albergue.

Baiona to Pontevedra through Vigo
June 7, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Vigo looks like a big city, the beaches south of the city are amazing I got there and had breakfast and then stop by some fruit.
The hills almost killed me together with the heat.
Leaving Vigo IRead more
Pontevedra
June 7, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Pontevedra got very busy the later it got... After 22h it got even busier with kids running around and people (lots of pilgrims) having fun.
I had earlier a salad and it was very tasty with tunaRead more
Leaving Pontevedra

Earliest I started cycling. I wanted to get to Santiago de Compostela and have time to check the city and return the bike.
The road ahead was surprising.
The fear of rain never materialized but theRead more
