Wednesday Oct 9, Redondela to Pontevedra

Hotel “Virgen del Camino”

The cab driver dropped us and our bags off, and we went in search of something to eat for breakfast. We didn’t notice the bad weather here, so we took off and spent all day walking in Pontevedra. It has an important group of squares of medieval origin and monumental religious buildings, such as the baroque Church of the Pilgrim Virgin and the Pazo de Lourizan.

For lunch we went for a fish meal but wasn’t too great but 3 ladies from Seville next to our table made it very enjoyable.

Hotel “Minho Belo” It was raining cats and dogs when we left our hotel.

And as I mentioned before, the 3 different Camino routes were crossing each other again. So we started walking that morning and again, hard to find the direction, so we ended up walking along an autoroute again, without a special trail for us pedestrians. We finally made it to a village and entered an hotel to get directions where to go. They mentioned that the boat to cross the water was for a long time out of service but there was another boat from a different location, not too far, that would take us to a different other side. So we walked in the direction indicated, saw the speedboat, met 2 other Peregrinos who joined us to cross the water, we paid 5 Euros each and off we went. 10 minutes later we landed on the other side of the Bay. At this landing point there were no walkways nor...
