Sept 29, 2016 Ponteverda 18km
It was a beautiful walk today following the coastal inlet part of the way. Some striking views along the trail, ending with the crossing of a medieval bridge. Met a Spanish hiking group. There were 32 in the group and I commented to their leader, that now I have solved the mystery why most of the hotels in the next town are booked. I should be a day behind so I can get a better hotel selection. There were two hills to pass today, which was exhausting and it was the final descent that we came upon Miguel's place. A local entrepreneur who converted his house into a bar/Cafe, and he was generous with his wine. Too much wine is not a good idea with 5km to go. I met another pilgrim at our hotel who had the same experience at Miguel's place. Made our way into Ponteverda and had to ask 3 people for directions to our hotel. An interesting town with many churches and museums, and many restaurants to choose.
