We took a train to Ponteverde from Santiago de Compostela. First we needed a taxi to take us to the station, then we bought tickets for the 11:40 train and arrived around 12:20. The landscapes that we rode through was so picturesque however the windows were so dirty that I had a hard time getting ant good shots. It was a good thing that we took the express train or else the trip would have taken over an hour. We walked from the station along one of the Camino paths with arrows pointing the way and some cool murals. We got to the center of the old town and then visited the church. It was tiny but still very beautiful. we sat by a playground as it filled with kids on recess, so much energy!
