Viana do Castelo

About 16k today and mostly off piste.

We left our apartment about 9:30 after a continental brekkie and decided to follow the beach to our next stop, rather than the more inland official route.

This required a bit of bush bashing early on to get into Amorosa for coffee but was far more scenic.

We walked the last half along the packed sand just beyond the waves, including removing boots and socks to cross a stream. Water was very nice. Lunch of fillet fish. Then an inland detour on the south bank of the river Lima to cross the bridge into the town of Viana. A comparatively snazzy hotel. David had swim and sauna downstairs.

Good dinner nearby of grilled squid and salad.
