Strolling Through Stone and Arches

#summervacay Wandering around Pontevedra in Galicia is like flipping through an old storybook… but with coffee shops. The architecture here? Total eye candy. Think cute stone buildings, charming balconies, and those little archways you just wanna walk through 50 times for no reason. The old town is where it’s at, super walkable, no cars zooming past, just cobbled streets and historic buildings doing their thing. You’ve got baroque churches, medieval vibes, and even some modern touches that somehow don’t feel out of place. One minute you're staring at the iconic Church of La Peregrina with its cool scallop shell shape, and the next you're in a sunny plaza sipping café con leche surrounded by gorgeous façades. It’s low-key magical. The whole city feels like it was made for slow strolls and random photo stops. Pontevedra doesn’t scream “look at me!”, it’s more like a quiet flex. Architecture fans and wanderers alike will be obsessed.
