We were feeling so good this morning with an early start and a cool morning. We were halfway to Barcelos before we knew it! Sooooo, when we saw a special variant path for the Camino that looked likeLes mer
Reisende I was dying! Andrea said, “it’s just like hiking at home” and I was like, “yeah, because for us just doing a Camino isn’t enough!!” 😆
Oh dear, all those steps.....😤 But the scenery was worth it! Beautiful! [Kathy Aiken]

Thankfully, we’ve arrived in Barcelos much earlier than our other stays! Beat the heat a bit better! Only thing is that our check-in at the hostel is not until 3pm. So, poor us, we have to wait andLes mer

Yes… he was kind of a “keeper” at the ruins! He insisted we follow him so he could give us a stamp in our pilgrim passports and so he could point at this and that and ramble on in Portuguese, as if we had a clue! 🤣 Really sweet man! I’ll have to look up the ruins later tonight to find out what we were looking at!

So when we went to check-in at the Barcelos Albergue they had no more beds, unless there were no-shows later in the day. They did offer us mattresses on the floor of an attic alcove with no window….Les mer
Reisende Wow…that IS lucky! 😀👍🏻 Looks like you guys will be getting some better sleep tonight! 💤 Prob much needed! Those mattresses look 10x better than the ones at the previous albergues! Another beautiful city! So fun that you have been able to connect and hangout with a couple of other pilgrims at your pit stops!
Aw, nice looking room! Thankful for AC and a soft bed! So nice to able to meet new 'friends' along the way. Sweet dreams. [Kathy Aiken]

Amy, your pics are superb! You need to publish an Along the El Camino picture book!📕
Gorgeous pics. Have you calculated how many miles you have walked so far? You'll both need new shoes when you get home! [Kathy Aiken]

Even in the midst of mist, it’s beautiful 😊and beating the heat is better!
Reisende It was my favorite morning so far!
Reisende Is there a story behind the ribbons? And is that a pair men’s underwear underneath?! 😳🤭
Reisende I love misty mornings in Europe! There’s something so magical and even almost mystical when combined with the old cities and countryside!
