    CP Day 7 to A Guarda SPAIN 🇪🇸

    September 1 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    This morning was our last morning in Portugal, at least for the next couple of weeks. We walked into the beautiful town of Caminha and took a little boat across the Rio Mino to Spain. The crossing is only about 1 km but took us an hour and 5 minutes …. We lost an hour due to time change crossing into Spain 🤪. On the boat with us was a couple who are biking the Camino. They are from Spain and Chile but live in the USA ( poor them). From where the boat dropped us off, we had a beautiful flat 7km walk all along the coast to a fishing village called A Guarda. However, once we reached A Guarda we had to climb many, many stairs to get to the top of the village where our hotel was. That was tough after a walk in full sun with packs that seem to get heavier every day!! Dinner tonight came from the grocery store as neither of us felt like staying up to go out for dinner at 7:30pm which is when the restaurants open for dinner here. We picked up some yummy bread, Gouda cheese and ham and lettuce and chocolate pudding for dessert. Our bellies are full and we are ready to sleep.Read more
