At times it felt like I could be sideswiped by a bus, semi-truck, or car at any time. While it was a short day of walking, I started out at 8 am to beat predicted rain which never really developed until late. Most of the day was walking along the road - some highways, some narrow small town roads, and very little trails. Got to the ending point for the day at 11:30 am and transferred/Taxi’d back to Agueda for accommodations. I will Taxi back to the ending point from today Saturday morning and pick up from where I stopped today. The extra night in Agueda allowed me to not take my backpack and it was enlightening. I could have walked another 16 km! Thunderstorms are predicted for the next couple days so we’ll see whether I am able to avoid the rain. Looking forward to getting into Porto in a couple of days to start the journey along the coast.
Met a couple gentlemen - Jose from Spain, and and Darragh from Ireland.Read more

TravelerCarol - just wanting to clarify what you are referring to with a small 10-15 L or 25 L one? I do hear Porto - Santiago is more Country and less roads.
