Camino Portuguese Coastal Day 8: Pontevedra - Caldas de Reis
My main goal today was to reach Caldas de Reis before the rain started, which was forecasted for 1 PM. Based on my pace, I left Pontevedra at 7:45 AM. There was a detour due to construction, but the temporary signs were clear, and locals helped point the way.
The route passed through forests, crossed railway tracks, and wound through vineyards before reaching Caldas de Reis. I arrived a bit early for check-in, so I visited the church and a supermarket while waiting. I was surprised to find a small Asian market with a variety of instant noodles. I grabbed a bowl along with a salad.
Not long after I checked into my albergue, heavy rain started. I was so relieved I didn’t have to walk in it!
