  • From Pontevedra to Santiago de Compostel

    June 8, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    As I got more inland the change of scenery was noticeably. Beautiful countryside.
    I started seeing more animals (besides the many cats I've seen throughout the journey) and farms. Lots of grapes growing.
    One particular horse wanted to come along with me.

  • Santiago de Compostela

    June 8, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Arrived! On time and everything. Crazy amount of people. Everywhere. And the first rainbow on the street seen on this European trip.
    Then I got lost to return the bike, bike more. My left knee was hurting from the last 8km. But I made it!
    Barely enough time to explore the city. But Spain in general is a must come back.
    I could have stayed the night in Santiago, but wanted to go back to Porto and explore there. So I did a superman outfit change in a bus depot bathroom and off I went on a crazy bus ride back to Porto.

  • Discovering Porto

    June 9, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Meeting a friend of a friend is always nice. Tried a Francesinha (first one). Walked around doing touristic things and taking lots of pictures.
    This is a very beautiful city. The hills, ups and downs, are extreme but it makes it unique. I have a feeling that everything is centered in tourism alone. Or perhaps that's what I can see as a tourist.Read more

  • Leaving Porto

    June 13, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Porto treated me well. But now I have to go. My next stop is Paris, Hector and his family will meet me there. I'm excited for what's coming next in France.

  • Local brewery

    June 14, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Surprisingly they had poutine, which I didn't try because Quebec might fine me if I did, lol.
    But the Frenchie spin burguer with brie was really good. And the sour beer as well.
