On the outskirts of Pontevedra, we were struck by this mural which was also part of the cafe/bar of the same name. From doing a Google search, I can tell you that there are numerous Casa Pepes in Spain. But, from a tired pilgrim's point of view, look at the symbolism in this mural: the scallop shell, the staff, a grizzly old peregrino (Santiago himself), the cathedral, and, of course, a pint of Spain own lager, Estrella Galicia. If our hiking day hadn't been almost over, this would definitely have been a place to take a break and rest for awhile.
