Description

Day two brought me to Pontevedra, where my legs were still finding their rhythm. The day was delightful, and I managed to dodge most of the forecasted rain—a blessing in a region known for its frequent downpours. Additional Info: Galicia is not only famous for its rain but also for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, which converges in Santiago de Compostela. The city is a treasure trove of historic architecture and cultural significance.
