The reality of walking the Camino - it rains, and sometimes you have to walk along busy roads! In case you didn't recognise me, I am the "strawberry"! |
We left our hotel in the dark yesterday morning, as we understood that there was to be some rain in the afternoon. It was quite eerie negotiating the quiet streets of Pontevedra at that time in the morning.

The Lerez River at Pontevedra |

The Camino crosses the Lerez River at Pontevedra. This was taken the evening before we departed. |
For the first couple of hours of the walk, it was quite gloomy, and just as things seemed to be brightening up at lunch time, the rain started to fall! The last four miles were therefore a sweaty experience in our ponchos. We all felt quite drained on arrival at Caldas de Reis, after 12 miles on the road. We were therefore grateful for a rest day today, and a chance to explore the town, as we have another long day ahead of us tomorrow.
I will do a separate page about Caldas de Reis, as it has now stopped raining.
Love
Rina
