Camino Portugues de Porto 2024 Kathy Thielen

There were several of these cool oceanside swing sets along the way.

Day 6: to Tui, First Night in Spain!

Sep 20–21, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

Short day, 7 miles. We started out, not taking too much heed of the impending rain. We had our ponchos, but I don't think we were mentally prepared for the downpour that came. We had originally planned for a total of 10 miles, and then a taxi ride 12 miles up to Tui, but after a soggy 7, we called for the taxi. No guilt, no regrets.

We left, walking along the coast for a stretch before the trail took us inland, meeting a few sheep, goats, and snails along the way.

This first set of pics is on our path from Vila de Praia Âncora to Caminha, still Portugal.Read more
