Love Viana Do Castelo #3

On the Camino you enter Viana Do Castela the by walking across the Eiffel Bridge, designed by Mr Eiffel of Eiffel Tower in Paris fame and built in 1878. As I wandered through the old town I came upon a girl dressed as a cow and Umbrella St- good stuff! The hotel is in a great location near the 19th century train station which has survived the test of time. I decided to go easy on myself and caught a cab to Santa Luzia, one of Portugal’s most emblematic monuments… way up on the hill behind the city, the view is sensational and the church interior simple and superb. I walked down 600 steps (which is why I caught the cab up!) and back to the hotel.
