Day 1 - Porto to Angeiras

Today was our first day’s walk on the Camino Portuguese. It was so much fun to get to share it with Miguel. And it doesn’t hurt that he speaks 5 languages. He is handy to have along in a pinch when ordering from a menu or trying to locate a bathroom.

We left from the Porto cathedral and walked through the narrow streets of town to the river and then made our way to the coast. It was such a nice, peaceful walk as the day awakened. Once on the coast we headed north following beautiful wide beaches for nearly 16 miles. The weather was clear and warm which was a concern as the rains have been unyielding on this route for weeks. We always wish we had trained more but hope that we get stronger as the days go by. We should sleep well tonight.Leer más
