Day 10--Vigo to Arcade

Today, we walked Vigo—Redondela—Cesantes—Arcade. It was slated to be 16.4 km (9.8 mi), 4:31, 199m up/172m down but we somehow ended up walking 12.9 miles, 6.5 hours.

The walk took us on pretty country roads,

through woods,

and along stone paths. It was a peaceful walk.

View of Ponte de Rande as we walked along the Ria de Vigo towards Redondela.

Arriving in Redondela, we found these trash and recycling bins, including one for cooking oil.

There are a few sights to see in Redondela. Stop at the Oficina de Turismo on Rua Isidoro Queimalinos and get a map. You can also get a sella (stamp) for your Camino passport.

Igrexa de Santiago was erected in the 15th century and dedicated to St. James.

You can see a sculpture of him riding a horse.

Os Eidos Cemetery is in the center of Redondela. It was built in 1830. There are elaborate mausoleums and a mass grave with the remains of 42 republicans murdered during the Spanish Civil War.

Only 84km to Santiago de Compostela.
