We left the city of Pontevedra in light rain. A beautiful church next to the city sign escorted out of the city and to the Camino way that consisted primarily of paved roads through small, very old villages, along the way. The WAY welcomed my best Amigo by the graffiti on the wall as we ascended another steep climb out of the little village. I tried to crop the little halo over Dave’s name, as the halo certainly did not fit, but my editing skills didn’t work.
After several miles in intermittent rain the pavement gave way to beautiful countryside. Our Way took us through rolling hills, vineyards, and fields of wild flowers. Despite the heavy rain we loved the peacefulness of the countryside.
We did interrupt our walk for a very important facetime with Dave’s lovely wife Beth. Beth’s birthday is today! Happy birthday!
Our journey today started around 7am with a pilgrim’s breakfast and ended at 2pm in Caldas de Reis, 14.8 miles. Another great day on the Camino de Portuguese. We’re within 50 km, 30miles, to our final destination of Santiago.
Doing our laundry and getting ready for another day on the Way!
