Day 1 Verdelha de Baixa

A largely fine day with a few short showers. A national holiday so many places shut - but not the popular museo Azulejos (tile museum).

Locals dress in winter coats.

Slow going, mud under foot. C. 24km.

Evening meal in local restaurant catering for peregrines and workers. 5 courses and wine for 8 euros. We doubled up on wine for no extra cost.Læs mere
