It was chilly and cloudy this morning when we left Redondela. We didn’t walk far from the river that flows into the sea, but didn’t see much of it at first. We are glad we went there yesterday afternoon, when the sun had broken through. Today we first walked through buildings that will not win the beauty prize.

It gets beautiful at Pontesampaio. There we walk over the old bridge and have a beautiful view over the bay and the mountain villages. After the bridge it goes up steeply. And soon we are walking on forest paths. There are many walkers today. We regularly pass groups of people who are resting, or we are passed…

Redondela – Pontevedra. 21.5 km , 21°C cloudy

In Pontevedra we spend the night just outside the center. We are curious if we recognize the center again and walk there. On the square where we stayed before, people are still sitting at the table. It smells good and we are hungry because after the Spanish cafe breakfast we only ate some fruit. We want to sit down, but it is immediately made clear; the kitchen is closed and opens again at 8am. We’re not going to make it. Ultimately, it is clear that only the BurgerKing delivers continuous food. It will be hamburger. With a full stomach we drink a beer on a lively square. It’s busy in the city. The terraces are full. Everyone wears a mask until a drink is served.
