May 14 – Pontevedra to Portela

As we left Pontevedra it was quiet compared to the Friday night party that kept many people awake.

The path is well marked and keep you in wooded paths. We met 2 ladies from Winnpeg. Then we a family with a pram with a little girl going on the Camino. A family with 2 boys and a number of people riding bikes on the Camino..

Kay is standing by a Roman marker. You can see on the sign how ancient this road we are going on.
Pedro is the Hospitaler the welcomed us at the Albergue Portela. Normally the pilgrims cook but With Covid food was brought in.

We had a pilgrim dinner with pilgrims from all over the world. The wall is a testament of hundreds of pilgrims who stayed here. Lack of space i wrote on the door jam. Pedro asked me to write something in Malay.

We met a lovely couple from Lithuania – Ivea and David.

Buen Camino
