Path that crosses the Louro River, with a splendid environment. 🌞🚶😎

A very beautiful church. Inside there is a very high dome. When we were there, there was a pilgrim mass in the evening.

Built on an old Roman foundation, the bridge crosses the Verdugo river. It is 144 metres long and consists of 10 pointed and semi-circular arches. The famous Battle of Pontesampaio took place on 7 and 8 June 1809, which was decisive in the Spanish War of Independence against the French and ended the 5-month French occupation.

The Igrexa de San Francisco in Tui is a beautiful building that is part of the city's historical heritage. Its white façade, balanced and sober, welcomes you to the center of Tui. The church has a neoclassical style with three naves, a beautiful dome, a large choir and a main altarpiece from 1741. It also has the chapel of the Venerable Third Order, built in 1777. Originally, it was part of a Franciscan convent. Next to it, the Diocesan Minor Seminary houses a small cloister and an interesting library. I hope you enjoy exploring this historic place in Tui! 😊

The Romanesque Cathedral of Santa María with Gothic influences is a fortress-like cathedral that was begun in 1120 but not consecrated until 1225. Its cloister (13th century) is worth mentioning, the only complete medieval cloister that has been preserved in a cathedral in Galicia, and the Santiago Chapel inside the church. The interior can be visited for €3, and you can get your pilgrim stamp at the ticket office.

The Puente del Burgo is a medieval bridge that crosses the Lérez River in the Spanish city of Pontevedra. It replaced a previous bridge of Roman origin. It is located on the route of the Portuguese Camino de Santiago, north of the historic center of Pontevedra and south of the O Burgo neighborhood. Between its arches, above the pillars, the famous pilgrim shells are sculpted. For centuries, it was one of the most important bridges in Galicia from a strategic point of view. 😊
