ITU Multisports Championships Pontevedra 2019 8 A city to walk ENG Pontevedra is a city to be explored on foot, like the pilgrims who cross though it from the South to North, on their way to Santiago De Compostela. But it’s not just the pilgrims who enjoy walking every- day, the streets and squares in Ponteve- dra are an extended part of the habitants’ own home. It takes no time at all to get anywhere on foot, there’s no need to take the car. We hope you’ll join us in our won- derful habit of strolling around, enjoying streets and squares without cars. Pontevedra has great urban scenery to enjoy during your leisure time, full of liveliness and a party atmosphere at any moment and a splendid setting to enjoy a vermouth, coffee or other drinks. To eat, it becomes an authentic open-air restaurant, full of traditional and innovative gastrono- my. Here, and all around Galicia, you can find all the different tastes that you can im- agine, especially tapas and shellfish from the sea and Ría. The squares are the heart of Ponteve- dra and generate vital energy for the city throughout the year. With their names re- lated to ancient trading activities, or dedi- cated to navigators or writers, the squares each have their own style. Enjoy the walk! GAL Unha cidade que vive a pé.
