Padron

by nomad7890 - last update: Aug 24, 2006

A little bit of Galicia between Santiago and Vigo

This is a small little town home to the Padron peppers and to many pilgrims on their way to Santiago. The town is pretty deserted if you get there after lunch as tradition has it in these parts to close down, but don't worry, things come back to life after 4 PM or so!

Picturesque sights

This is a nice little village in which to stroll with a large park and a good botanical garden. When we visited early August of 2006 Galicia was suffering from many fires, which is reflected in these pictures.

Overnight housing for pilgrims across the river

Next to the church across the river Sar exists a refuge for pilgrims walking to Santiago

Pros:"Small town atmosphere, picturesque, cozy"
Cons:"Make sure you stand on the same side you arrived to take the return train"
In A Nutshell:"A visit to the simple life"
