Pontevedra → Caldas de Reis

A flat and pleasant stage following the Lérez river valley. You leave Pontevedra via the Burgo bridge, of Roman origin, and walk along shaded paths through riverside forests and vineyards. The trail passes through Alba, where remains of a medieval tower survive, and through Barro with its stone crosses. Caldas de Reis is a spa town with natural hot water springs bubbling up beside the Umia river. Pilgrims can soak their tired feet in the free thermal pools — a relief after the walk.
