Porto
27. syyskuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Exploring the city of Porto. Love it. Lots of hills. First stop Livaria Lello, the bookstore that is said to be the inspiration for JK Rowling and her Harry Potter books. Next tapas and on for a wander; tower and church of Clerigos, down to the river and the palace de Bolsa.Lue lisää

Day 2 in Porto
28. syyskuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Spotted our first Camino directional sign in Porto. Wandered up and down the hills of this very vertical city. Stopped at the cathedral to get our first Camino passport stamp and made our way over the bridge to the Gaia side of Porto where we enjoyed a lovely dinner and a glass of Porto produced port. Since Monday we've walked over 40 kms just exploring. Only 270 more to go.Lue lisää

Camino Day 1
29. syyskuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Today we left Porto to start the Camino. We walked along the seaside boardwalk all the way from Matosinhos. Beautiful beach and crashing waves. We stopped on Paraiso at Pe No Mar for lunch and had a lovely meal with great service. Now we are in Labruge (population 3000) before we head on for our hotel tonight in Vila Cha (even smaller population), just up the road.Lue lisää

Day 2 on the Camino
30. syyskuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Started the day from Vila Cha. Had a nice stop in Vila conde mid day and saw some lovely gardens, monuments, old buildings undergoing renovations and a community chapel dating back to the 16th century. Had a nice lunch too ☺️. Then onto Poa da Varzim. When we walked into town the public temperature notice board read 42 degrees! After a shower and a lay down at our hotel Casa Verde we went around the corner for dinner at O Patio where we had a lovely dinner of grilled fish. Highly recommend this restaurant. See the complimentary cheese board for a starter.Lue lisää

Day 3 on the Camino
1. lokakuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
We started the day by the coast where it was foggy and misty. Good facial moisturizing 😀 In the afternoon we walked through a lot of agricultural areas, had lunch in Apulia and finally through Fao before crossing the river and we were welcomed on the other side by the Bom Camino sign painted on the road. In a forested area we came across a cairn of stones and other small things people had left in the middle of a forested area. My favorite was a little package inviting folks to take a bandaid if they have blisters. Some interesting monuments to the women of the sea and to workers coming into Esposende and a gazebo that reminded me of Gilmore Girls. 23 kms! A long day.Lue lisää

Day 4 on the camino
2. lokakuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Left Esponsende for a very challenging trail. Walked through several small cobble stoned towns. Cobble stones are hard on the feet! Stopped at one small town cafe and had a nice visit with the resident cat. After that we were into forested hill trails with lots of elevation. Found another cairn of stones and other trinkets left by pilgrims. Finished the day in Viana do Castelo. Found a former hospital ship servicing Portuguese fishermen off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Beautiful town with gorgeous historic buildings.Lue lisää

Matkaaja Pretty kitty Trust you to always find a cat Those cobblestones must have been pretty awful to walk on Again beautiful scenery At least the temp was better for travel

Day 5 on the Camino
3. lokakuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
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.Lue lisää

Day 6 on the camino
4. lokakuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
We left Portugal and traveled by a "water taxi" to Spain. Another day of beach, forest and road travel with some lovely stops along the way. We took Alayne Sinclair's advice finally and stopped for a "second breakfast" of "pum king" cake and almond cake with cappuccino. We stopped for lunch in Portocelos and had some great food - calamari and a bocadillo - but more importantly we enjoyed a beautiful view. Finally we arrived Villadesuso and our beautiful guest house. Mary and I were the only guests. Our host drove us into town for a great dinner (two amazing salads) overlooking the water and picked us up to bring us home and we are now sitting in the comfy lounge enjoying some quiet time. Finally, Mary's photo of the donkey outside her window at our guest house.Lue lisää

Day 7 on the Camino
5. lokakuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Started our day with an amazing breakfast at our guest house in Villadesusa after which we headed off down the rural roads on a cool morning. Came across the local town cemetery. Not too far along the same road we discovered another pilgrim cairn with many more stones than what we have previously seen. It seems the local people are contributing some beautifully painted stones. I of course liked the cat one. We walked into As Marinas and stopped for lunch at a beautiful hotel with an upper patio overlooking the water and ordered a couple of delicious salads. Then on to Baiona - another beautiful town of 12,000+ people - where we visited the castle overlooking the city and then had a tapas dinner and some great Spanish Vermouth.Lue lisää

5. lokakuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We departed our Baiona hotel as the sun was rising and walked along the beautiful coastline for sometime, and crossed over the river on an ancient foot bridge in Ramallosa. Then the path took us beside the highway for a long time. We stopped for a lovely lunch of salad with tuna, padron peppers and garlic mushrooms. We arrived for the night in Vigo, a city of over 300,000 population on a busy Friday night where friends were gathered everywhere for drinks and snacks.Lue lisää
