Day 1 - Cabo de Mundo

Had a bit of a lay in...departed at 9ish. A walk through Porto, just as it was waking up, to the start point at the Cathedral. Fortunately for Pilar, the Portuguese built it on top of a hill. Secured our Credential's (Pilgrim Passports) and then set off on our Camino. 1st stop was for breakfast in a cafe dangerously close to the Tram line, but the pastries were worth dying for. Pilar was preoccupied the whole walk along the river, watching what seemed to be the entire young male bronzed, fit population of Porto doing fitness, by running along the boardwalk with their tops off. Where the river met the sea, we turned right and then continued along the most stunning coastline, stopping a few times for refreshment at the copious bar's along route. We decided to call it a day at about 4 pm and then went for a meal in a beautiful restaurant built onto the coastline and watched the sun go down. It was not a bad first day!Read more
