We often schedule a few days at the end of a Camino in some nice town as a contrast from being in a different town each day on the Camino. This year we chose Pontevedra. We didn’t know much about it although we had stayed here one night when we walked the Camino Portugués. We mainly chose Ponferada because it was a quick train ride from Santiago.
Because we had skipped some parts we had originally planned to walk, we ended up with eight days here. So far we are very happy with it.
We have a nice, roomy apartment just on the edge of the Old Town.
One of the joys of having an apartment is that you can buy food in grocery stores and eat at home. I’m having some nice pineapple as I am writing this. So we went to the supermarket around the corner to stock up, especially on breakfast supplies, but you already know about our breakfasts.
At the market I drew Wynette’s attention to two women in costumes with little wings on them. More on that in a later post.
Two things about the apartment: it is right next to three high rated restaurants (per Google) and there seems to be a rock festival in the park across the street. Each deserves a post.
