Such beautiful cemeteries in Portugal. This was leaving Grijo this morning.

Wall paintings including different signs seen by pilgrims

I saw this on the edge of a paved street. ?accidental or intentional. Interesting nonetheless

I saw the bikers come from the opposite direction. I wondered what they would do.

Feeling (and looking!) pretty rugged by that time of day

Day 26 - To Porto

September 27, 2025 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

Cobblestone everywhere! I really like the looks of it, but it’s very impractical to walk on, especially for multiple kilometres at a time. It’s hard to imagine that it’s comfortable walking on pavement, but that is only when switching from cobblestone.
Arrived at my hotel in Porto at 1:30 just as it was starting to sprinkle. So I got away without any rain. Registration wasn’t open until 3 o’clock, so I dropped my backpack off and wasted a bit of time. It was 21° and I walked about 20 km today.

Is it ever nice to be in Porto!! But I was shocked at the number of people. Of course I knew there would be tourists, but so many more people than I am used to. I’m not so sure I like it.

Missing home and everyone!Read more
