June 5 – Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis, 14 miles
June 6 – Caldas de Reis to Padrón, 13 miles
Yesterday, June 5th, we left Pontevedra. It was a bit cool and cloudy, but not bad. Most of the day was dry except a couple times with rain, not too bad. It felt like a very long walk and we were all pretty tired at the end. Most of the walk was on trails, with not too much time on roads. We walked around a bit when we got there and had a hard time finding good meals. Most other places we’ve found pretty good food.
Today, June 6th, we left Caldas and started our way to Padrón. The forecast was for rain all day. At first it was just a gentle drizzle, and it wasn’t too bad to walk in. By the time we got to Padrón it was pouring rain and pretty windy. We stopped for lunch. Padrón is famous for some peppers that are originally from here, so of course, we had to try some. We also enjoyed other tapas. After lunch we still had about 3 more kilometers to go, we got drenched! We were all very happy to make it to our hotel and get hot showers. It is still raining pretty hard, glad to be done with the walking for the day!
Can’t believe we only have one more day to walk!
