Ponte de Lima ist eine charmante Stadt mit einem kleinen Einkaufszentrum. Die Brücke mit 30 Bögen führt über den Rio Lima zur Albergue und Richtung Santiago, aber bevor Sie überqueren, sollten Sie unbedingt die Stadt erkunden.

Versäumen Sie nicht den Largo de Camões (Hauptplatz in der Nähe des Brückenkopfs), die Iglesia Matriz und die Reste der alten Verteidigungsmauern, den Torre de San Paulo und den Torre Cadela. In der Stadt gibt es mehrere andere Kirchen und Kapellen, die alle der Pilgerfahrt nach Santiago in irgendeiner Weise Tribut zollen.

Wenn Sie einen schönen und ruhigen Rastplatz suchen, überqueren Sie den Fluss zum Parque do Arnado.

Sobald Sie die Brücke überqueren, finden Sie ein Spielzeugmuseum und die Albergue.

Notice

Ponte de Lima ist seit 1826 am zweiten Wochenende im September Gastgeber eines sehr großen Festivals, das als "As Feiras Novas" bezeichnet wird. Es ist eine riesige Party, und wenn Sie nicht lange im Voraus eine Reservierung vorgenommen haben, werden Sie möglicherweise keine Unterkunft finden.

Fiesta

As Ferias Novas, das Stadtfest, wird am zweiten Septemberwochenende als dreitägiges Fest gefeiert.

History

Die Brücke über deb Rio Lima verleiht der Stadt ihren Namen und besteht schon seit langem. Die ältesten 7 Bögen sind römisch und stammen aus dem 1. Jahrhundert, die jüngsten stammen aus dem Mittelalter und wurden 1370 fertig gestellt. Ihre Füße werden den Unterschied nicht erkennen.

The Road

Überqueren Sie die Brücke, passieren Sie das Spielzeugmuseum und die Albergue und biegen Sie rechts in die erste Straße ein. Der Camino mündet in eine kleine Landstraße, führt unter der Autobahn durch und nach Arcozelo.

After 36km of walking we arrived in that "feels like home" place..Nice beds, nice livingroom, self-service bar, kitchen and breakfast. The best accomodation I've been while walking my route

Arrived on a Sunday, and there was local flea markets in the promenade, a rally car race and an organ concert in the church - honestly such a fun town!

I stayed at Old Village Hostel - 23EUR and a very welcoming and pretty space. Hosts made you feel at home.

I don’t stay at Albergue as I was very tired and wanted to check in before 3pm.

This restaurant has two options of a menu. One shows the pilgrim menu, between 18.50 and 20. The other is the Menu of the Day, which was 7.50 or 9.50 with dessert. The hostess was the one who recommended we go with this option to cut on costs. On this visit, one meal had 3 mackerel, vegetables and potatoes. Bottled water was included. The soup was 3 euro extra. At the end, we got a stamp.

I would pass on Pousada da Juventude
Overpriced for a old city jail converted to a Albuquerque
Not the cleanest place

I booked through Booking . Com. The bed was the most wonderful bed that I’ve slept in all of my camino. I had a kitchenette and huge shower.
The owner went above and beyond for me. She also included this bit of history.

Our accommodation is located on the 17th century Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims coming from Braga would pass through Rua de MERIM, where the back of our accommodation is located, go down Rua do Pinheiro and, as the town was walled, they would either enter the gate at the beginning of Rua de Souto and cross the town, at the risk of being robbed by those who lived within the walls, and then gain access to the bridge, or there were others who crossed the river below the avenue of plane trees, where the Açude is located today because it is the narrowest area, on the other side of the river is the Chapel of São Gonçalo, which dates back to that time.

The donativo is clean and new, but no sheets and the showers are cold and communal. If you want an alternative stay at the old Village hostel - you can book a small room for 3-4 people and split the cost.

Is there a train from Porto to PdL, or bus?
