Day 6 - Carreço to Caminha

As the song goes…. What a difference a day makes!
Left much later than normal, but it was sunny and crisp and absolutely beautiful. Today’s walk has definitely been my favourite so far - most of it was with the sea to my left and green mountains to my right, the occasional walk through forest, mixture of boardwalk and rambling, absolutely perfect! It was bright but windy, but I think that just means extra kudos.
At this point, a lot of the walkers have turned inland to take the traditional, central route, so the paths were much clearer of people.
Stopped halfway at Vila da Praia da Âncora for a spot of lunch - yum, yum, yum! Then strolled the last 10km with a full tummy and a smile on my face. Found myself needing to hear Elbow’s One Day Like This, and it just seemed so apt to reach Minho river mouth, with Spain on the other of the river and those chords in my head.
Had such a large lunch that all I wanted for dinner was cereal, so when in Portugal… chocopic it is!!
Early night, for tomorrow I cross the river and enter España - ¡Buen Camino!Read more
