    Porto: River Duoro and beach

     April 8, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Our second day in Porto and the weather was much more friendly for exploring. We wandered along the river, looking down on the little houses below and across at the huge bridges, some of them two tiered because of the really steep banks.
    We enjoyed a nice al fresco lunch to soak up some more sunshine and then had a look at the cathedral, called Sé.
    Our hop-on hop-off tickets were still good from yesterday so we hopped on and rode up to the north of the city to see the castles on the coastline and walk back along the beach. Finished off the day with a bottle of port and a chocolate salami, fancy pantses that we are.    Read more

    Lavra - Orbitur Camping

     September 16, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Moin, es gibt Neues von den Almans. Nach einem netten Frühstück im Hostel ging es heute Morgen gegen 10 Uhr los. Wir liefen zur Kathedrale in Porto um uns den ersten Stempel abzuholen. Dann haben wir uns verlaufen. Naja, zum Glück haben wir ja Handys und haben den Weg dann noch gefunden. Eigentlich ging’s die ganze Zeit sehr flach an der Küste lang. Irgendwann hat’s plötzlich echt doll geregnet und wir haben circa 30 Minuten unter einer ziemlich hässlichen Brücke gewartet - davor und danach war das Wetter aber traumhaft. Nach knapp 20km gabs ‘ne nette Pause mit Käsebrot und Wasser am Leuchtturm (an dieser Stelle ein extra Gruß an Opa!), dann ging’s weiter. Meistens war ein schöner Holzsteg am Wasser entlang gelegt, man fühlte sich fast wie auf Sylt. Insgesamt waren’s jetzt 27km und wir sind sehr froh angekommen zu sein. Wir haben hier für 11€ ein wenig kleines Bungalow mit Doppelbett, Sofa und Veranda ergattert, fühlen uns aber wie SEHR alte Menschen. Philine spürt ihren Rücken, ich die ein oder andere Blase am Fuß und wir beide unsere Beine. Gehen jetzt duschen, denn wir stinken🤪Read more

    Porto - Lavra

     October 2, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Nach der Flugverspätung und Dank eines sehr hilfsbereiten Hospitaeros, hab ich gestern doch noch meine Unterkunft bekommen.
    Heute morgen ging's direkt los zur Kathedrale, den ersten Stempel abholen und von dort zum Fluß Duoro. Heute bin ich den ganzen Weg mit einer netten Kindergärtnerin aus Stuttgart gegangen.
    Nach ca. 25 km entlang des Atlantik sind wir jetzt auf dem Campingplatz in Lavra.    Read more

    Swimming to Angeiras

     June 6, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

    I decided to bring a poncho this time on the Camino instead of a raincoat and it turned out to be an almost comically horrible choice. Try getting a poncho on by yourself while wearing a backpack in whipping wind and lashing rain. The snaps kept flying open and the poncho sailed up over my head. So I pulled a rain cover over my pack and put the pack on over the poncho to hold it down. I still got soaked completely through.

    The walk took me from the mouth of the river at Porto, north onto a miles-long wooden boardwalk, built to protect the beach and dune habitat along the shore. Rough surf breaking over the rocks beyond a wide expanse of beach. Quite beautiful. I got a couple of photos before it really started to pour raining. I stopped at a little seafood cafe for lunch and, with my lousy Portuguese, I ended up with a steak. The beer was good, though.

    I've only seen a few other walkers, huddled in rain wear, heads down against the storm. I stopped at a campground in Angeiras that rents out tiny cottages and I have one to myself. Spread out my wet clothes, made a cup of coffee and watched the rain out the window. Heaven.    Read more

    Porto

     October 5, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    We stayed at a site 8k from the city for three nights. Plenty of space for us to pitch up.
    On arrival we had a walk down to the beach in the evening to walk along the coast path - many more pilgrims on their way to Santiago. We made it to a bar and each had a vey full glass of local wine which was very pleasant. We were taken aback at the cost when we left - 2 euro total - our faces must have been a picture to the bar man.
    Took the bus into Porto - again well priced at 1.60 euro each for a 1 hour journey - along the coast and into the city. It is a city which is a world heritage site and we can see why, we very much enjoyed walking around up the many hills, over the historic bridges and mooching in the old city. We took a Port cellar tour (Calem)and sampled some of Porto's finest on the other side of the river    Read more

    Leixoes, Porto, Portugal

     September 1, 2017 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    Oporto, has an expansive beach, many parks, and a long promenade next to the water.
    In the city we viewed a medieval Cathedral and buildings with its famous blue tiles.
    Th city was preparing for the Red Bull Air Race on the Douro River. We were able to view several planes practicing. They were doing stunts and flying between markers on the water.
    Next was a tour of the port wine producer Pocas, which was established in 1918. We learned about the different stages of production as we walked beside huge oak casks and barrels. At the end of the tour we went into a cellar room for tasting.    Read more
