June 3 – O Porriño to Redondela, 10 miles
June 4 – Redondela to Pontevedra, 13 miles
Left O Porriño under cloudy skies. The first few miles were not bad. Sean had trouble with his feet, he’s been getting some pretty bad blisters. Then we hit a hill, nothing terrible, but after the days of walking, we were feeling our legs! The downhill was very steep. When we got to the top of the hill, we stopped at a cafe for some coffee and a snack, and it started raining. It rained for the rest of the walk, until we got to Redondela. There we had a nice tapas lunch, and the rain finally stopped.
In the afternoon, we got a ride back to our farmhouse hotel. We had a pretty quiet afternoon and got a bit of rest.
On June 4, we left the hotel and it was raining. On our way to Redondela, to the point where we got picked up yesterday, it started pouring!! Luckily, by the time we started walking it had become a bit of a drizzle, and we lucked out with the rest of the walk. The walk wasn’t terribly long, but it did feel long. Towards the end, we arrived to Pontevedra, and had to walk through most of the city to get to our hotel. That felt really long. We finally arrived to our hotel, which is another Parador. Not as nice as the last one. We found a little square with a bunch of restaurants and got some food. Going to walk around town this afternoon and explore a bit.
