Camino Day 22

Caminha to Porto Mougás
~24 km/15.5 miles

I'm writing this almost a week later as I slowly catch up on this blog.

On this day I took the boat to cross over the estuary into Spain. The boat left around 7:45, and by the time we landed about 15 minutes later it was already 9:00! Spain is one hour ahead.

The coast seems more rugged here, and it was gray with clouds that threatened rain, but didn't really deliver.

I got a private room with bath with a nice view of the ocean at the albergue for only 10€ more than a bunk bed in the dorm. The tiny bathroom was so tight that I had to sit kind of sideways to use the toilet. The wall mounted trash can was much more convenient than one of those tiny step on trash cans, just less classy looking. 😅

The albergue had the best area for drying clothes that I've seen - clotheslines set up in a huge, mostly empty greenhouse.

There was also a restaurant on the property where I enjoyed a good swordfish dinner.Read more
