One of the finest parts of the Portuguese Camino: views over the Vigo estuary and the San Simón inlet, the medieval bridge of Pontesampaio, where a battle was fought against Napoleon’s troops, and stretches of old road and forest. Pontevedra has one of the most pleasant old towns in Galicia and the church of A Peregrina, built in the shape of a scallop shell.
