In the morning (after
breakfast) we checked out of the hotel and
drove toward Santiago de Compestella.
Along the way we stopped in
Pontevedra to
check out this city with a long maritime and trading tradition. Timber used to be the main export, but thanks to new laws that is no longer true. The
city has a very elegant historic quarter. The main square, Praza de Lena, features a popular
stone cross. The town is full of
charm,
cafes and bars. This is also the place where I spotted (on my own) a
symbol pointing toward Santiago de Compestella (more on that later). And I bought an
asthma inhaler for €5 without a prescription. For more on Pontevedra,
