Day 5 on the Camino

We started the day in Viana do Castelo and as we left our hotel we noticed this beautiful shop across the street selling pavlova. We restrained ourselves but I had to take a photo. We then traveled up a funicular to visit the church of Santa Luzia. The views from the top were stunning. We stopped in a nice little town called Ancora, where we had some coffee and nata tarts ( so good but I forgot to take a photo). Our walking today had us travel along the beach and through an area of tiny farms where we saw horses, sheep and goats. We also traveled through a nice cool forested area before returning to the trail along the beach. We finished the day in Caminha and dinner at a very enjoyable restaurant called Baptista. Tomorrow we travel across the river into Spain.Read more
