Before you leave this village, don’t miss the view from the belvedere next to the chapel that is the center of this place. If you get a chance, listen to the bells at the change of time.

One of the first Roman markers on the road. It served as a distance indicator, as you can read on the sign next to this landmark. At this point the descent to Redondela begins between houses and woods.

The arrival in town is after a very steep descent through residential areas. Before starting the descent, take the opportunity to see Redondela and the river that serves it in the distance. If you arrive wanting to eat, or rest, this town has several restaurants and hostels ready to receive pilgrims.

This Roman bridge begins the last stretch of the most difficult stage of the Portuguese central road. If you want to rest, just cross over and in a few kilometers further you’ll be in Arcade, which has various accommodations available. However, if you’d rather just take a dive to refresh your energy, make use of the river beach.

After a climb that requires an effort of endurance and persistence, Pontevedra welcomes us with the usual hospitality of the Way to Santiago. Then following, there’s a walk through the forest accompanied by the river, and we are in the city. On every street there seems to be hostels in which to stay. If you still have energy, take a walk through the city center. Spacious, with plenty of commerce and places to eat, it has the ingredients for an unforgettable evening.
