This is an abbreviated entry for the day, mostly consisting of photos I couldn’t upload earlier. Refer to the earlier entry In Baiona: an interim report for a narrative overview and the map.
It’s also a pretty perfunctory entry. I picked up a bad cold yesterday, and don’t feel the most inspired. Blah.
One thing that has greatly impressed me about this region is how widely granite is used as a primary construction material. It is employed for just about everything:
Today’s ride included a small spur down this road, the route we had mapped for the final miles into Pontevedra.
It probably would have helped here to be able to read Gallegos, or at least Spanish. It looks though like one of those situations where bikes can get through when others can’t, so we took a chance.
Our favorite memory from Pontevedra is our walk along the riverside. Both banks are fine for walking, and all of the bridges we passed or crossed over are worth a second look. If we lived here, it’s a walk we would take often.
