Very pleasant and beautiful cathedral. Pilgrim mass at 7:30 p.m.

The goal is the path.

The nice thing is that you don't need navigation.

Beautiful city with many murals.

Signage on the Camino de Santiago is essential for pilgrims. Yellow arrows: These arrows will guide you throughout the entire route. They indicate the direction to follow, especially at crossroads. The yellow color is due to the contribution of the parish priest Elías Valiña, a key figure in the resurgence of the Camino de Santiago in the 20th century. Cairns or milestones: These concrete blocks include an arrow, a yellow shell on a blue background and the distance in kilometers to Santiago de Compostela. You will find them every 500 meters in Galicia. Scallop shells: In addition to being drawn on the markers, scallop shells are distributed throughout the Camino. They are universal symbols and have been carried by pilgrims for centuries. The open part of the shell indicates the direction towards Santiago. Good way! 🚶‍♂️🌟

The church in honor of Our Lady as a pilgrim was built between 1778 and 1794 and is therefore part of the transition from Baroque to Classicism. Its floor plan is in the shape of a shell within a Greek cross. In the church there is a sculpture of Our Lady as a pilgrim or 'Virgen de A Peregrina' (19th century), who is the patron saint of the province of Pontevedra and at the same time of the Portuguese Way of St. James.

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. 😊

Medieval bridge over the river Lérez. The Camino de Santiago Portugués runs over this bridge. After renovations in 2019/2020, the bridge is only for pedestrians. Highlight: the scallop shells over the pillars. From the 1950s.
