Camino Torres to Ucanha

We were all back on the road again for this walking day. We started from the Albergue in Beira Valente and walked about 14 km to the town of Ucanha, where there was a beautiful old tower that opened to a foot bridge over the river. There was a nice little café right before the tower where we stopped for a drink and then they helped us call a cab to our lodging, which was about 3 km outside of town. I had made reservations at a resort hotel to break up this long day. It had an amazing number of pools, couldn’t really figure out all of them, but we went out and sat by them so we could try. We had a very good supper that night!

The highlight of the day was when we walked by a big apple warehouse in the countryside,. There were a couple of men working there, perhaps owners. They came out as we passed by and called us to come into the warehouse and look at their apples. They insisted that we each take two of their best eating apples and they were delicious!Read more
