Jour 5
Rates, Courel, and Pedra Farada
24 avril, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Walking out of Rates into the countryside township of Courel, I saw several farmers with tractors working in their fields. I came across the Park of Rates in this area and found many momentos left by pilgrims whose loved ones had passed on. I had to make a contribution in memory of my grandfather as I know he is walking beside me and would be so proud. Had a lovely meal at a cafe, then walked the last stretch in the dark to the hostel.En savoir plus

Jour 6
Barcelinhos
25 avril, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Before I crossed the bridge into the city of Barcelos, I passed through Barcinhos, had lunch at a cafe, and was told by the waitress that there was no availability at any hostel in the city. The reason was that it was Freedom Day, the celebration of Portugal's Independence.En savoir plus

Jour 6
Barcelos
25 avril, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Entering Barcelos, I walked through the ruins of the Palace of the Counts. Medieval sarcophagi, heraldic symbols, landmarks from the House of Bragança, various architectural elements from dismantled churches and convents, and emblazoned stones from ancient noble houses that have now disappeared. Next was the festivities of which was incredible, but I was way too tired to enjoy them as I wish I could have, and I slept like a vampire once finally at my hotel.En savoir plus

Villa Boa, Lijó, and Silva
27 avril, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Up at it determined this morning to make a great deal of distance. Leaving Barcelos behind me, I ventured back into the countryside where I found the trail pretty easy as the incline was graded very well and just went slow. Ran into the same issue of all the hostels being booked once again 😑En savoir plus

Ponte de Lima
28 avril, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
Woke up to a farmers market on the main avenue of the city, lots of cool stuff. Though I had to press on over the roman bridge and see a few of the other monuments. Off to the massive lonely mountain I go after leaving the city behind me.En savoir plus

Arcozelo, Labruja, and Romarigães
28 avril, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 10 °C
Leaving the Roman city of Ponte de Lima behind, I started to re-enter the pastures of the countryside once more. Listening to the aubiobook for The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein helped motivate me and keep my determination. The shadow of nivatable ascension up the looming mountain that is taller than the empire state building.En savoir plus

Jour 9
Aqualonga at long last.
28 avril, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Well, the time has finally arrived for me to climb the desolate mountain to reclaim the lost Dwarven kingdom of Erebor from the foul dragon Smaug. The rain started lightly, then not so much for almost 2 hours! I was shivering and couldn't wait for food and good bed. The burger had a fried patty of mac n cheese, and the castle like house I'm staying at is incredible, and the old man was very kind.En savoir plus

Rubiães and Fontoura
29 avril, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Woke up early to lovely breakfast by my host. His house is over 300 years old! It was like staying in a private cozy castle. After a short chat with my host, I was off reach Valença. I am very thankful that the worst of the hike is behind me. I finished The Hobbit, and now I have stated Fellowship of the Ring naturally. I saw a little old lady walking her sheep, and I found the ruins of an abandoned home, and I had to explore.En savoir plus

Jour 10
Valença, the finale of Portugal
29 avril, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Arriving in Valença late in the afternoon, I rested for a few hours and waited until I was prepared to walk to the closest restaurant that was open.
The Italian restaurant was fancier than I expected, and Im sure I stuck out painfully. I ordered a calzone with all sorts of things in it. It was great. Also, where else could you get pistachio cheescake?!En savoir plus

Jour 11
Valença Fort, and Tui, Spain
30 avril, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
The city of Valença has a massive fort where there are many shops that specialize in textile fabrics. I found one very cool shop with fossils, preserved insects, and antique decorations. There was a massive cathedral, with incredible stone work, I just wish It was open and had seen the inside. Met some lovely cats that made my own at home. Then, leaving Tui, I was back to the forest road and the Fellowship on the Ring.En savoir plus
