Day 22 - To Albergaria-a-Velha
23 сентября 2025 г., Португалия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
I struggled since this morning with my ankle. The sprain I felt as I was entering Coimbra about 3d ago. It was good for the last two days. But I guess 57.5 kms in the last two days was a bit too muchЧитать далее

Day 26 - To Porto
27 сентября 2025 г., Португалия ⋅ 🌧 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 onЧитать далее
