t is a bit of a search in the old center of Pontevedra, but in the end we can have a delicious breakfast with freshly squeezed juice and delicious coffee. It is busy with other walkers. At the first cafe on the route it is chaotic crowds. The Camino seems like a real family event; Grandma or Grandpa walk along, and sometimes young children. There are also friend groups. They talk enthusiastically and have fun.

Still, it is possible to walk parts of the route quietly in pairs.

Walking on the edge of the forest we see some crowds in front of us. A horse jumps restlessly, a man is waving a stick … There appears to be a wild boar in the meadow.

When we crossed the river in Caldas de Reis, we passed a nice terrace. We decide to eat the ‘menu del dia’ there as a late lunch and not to wait until eight o’clock in the evening. Real Spanish food. Fried pescado. It doesn’t look photogenic, but it’s really delicious. Add white wine ;-). Melon beforehand.

Caldas de Reis is a nice place. The sun comes out in the afternoon, which also makes a difference. We have a nice room, but the WiFi is way too slow to do anything with it.

In the evening we walk to a terrace where we drink a beer in the sun. When we think about whether to order something to eat, a sandwich is served. As a snack from the cafe. 🙂
