Information
Pontevedra, on the Way of Saint James, combines history and culture with nature. Its charming streets, old town and the Lérez river captivate pilgrims.
Welcome to Pontevedra, emblematic and historic city. For many, it is one of the most beautiful cities in Galicia, and no wonder. A stroll through its cobbled streets and squares will be enough to realize the special charm it hides. After Santiago de Compostela, Pontevedra is the place on this route with the largest number of heritage elements. You can visit, among other things, the Ruins of Santo Domingo in the Provincial Museum of Pontevedra, the Royal Basilica of Santa María la Mayor, and the symbol of the city: the church of the Pilgrim. It is for all this that it becomes a perfect start to do the Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese Way.
