PONTEVEDRA SPAIN

North West Spain.

When i plan my trips , i don't book hotels or transport in advance except the Eurostar train under the English Channel.-- When i arrived in Vigo, i was unimpressed by the place on first sight, so took the next train to Pontevedra just
30 minutes away. This was much better.-- Pontevedra is in North West Spain, and surrounded
by hills and located on the estuary of the river Lerez. It is the second city in Galicia after
Santiago de Compostela. --Pontevedra is a lovely place with an unusual Church. The Virgin Peregrina Church is built to a Semi-Circular Plan, the only rounded church in Spain. Near this church was a restaurant where i had a lovely meal, down stairs in the Cellar.
I stayed at 2 star hotel La Perigrino not far from the rail station. I was travelling on
a Spanish Train pass of RENFE the train Company.PONTEVEDRA  SPAIN.--Hotel  Perigrino,  i  stayed  here.
