Day One Potuguese Camino

43,000 steps👍🇵🇹
Day #ONE on the Portuguese Coastal Camino. Metro to Matosinhos then walk to Povoa Varzim…. 43,000 steps ….28km. 👍🤞❤️🤞❤️🇵🇹. Great board walk, and really well signposted. Went thru some great little fishing villages. Restaurants dot the coastline. There is a real effort to rehabilitate sand dunes and protect migratory seabirds.
All went well til Greg, my walking buddy for the afternoon took a bit of a diversion trying to find the hotel, then I discovered I was staying elsewhere!!! So an extra few kilometres!
Coastal walk and the beaches are gorgeous but the last 8km was very urban and you really had to look out for Camino directions.
I went looking for dinner, spotted a nice restaurant and hit the jackpot. Food was free as they were celebrating first anniversary of the business. Best and biggest prawns I have ever eaten. Gorgeous sunset.Leggi altro
