Mard,

I have not stayed there but passed close by last December when walking the Camino Portuguese backwards from Santiago south to Tui. Poio is 4 km west of Pontevedra. Here is the Monasterio de San Juan de Poio web site >>http://www.mercedarios.com/index1.htm. The complex is immense with many Baroque structures. For information regarding overnight accommodation use their Hospedería link.

Buen Camino,

Margaret Meredith
 
Thank you, Margaret. If we stay there I'll let you know what it's like. Best wishes, Mard
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
