Parque João Paulo II

Porto to Vila Do Conde 23km
Had a nice breakfast at the fancy hotel then caught the metro to the coast at Matosinhos, and started the 22km walk North at 10am, following the coast to Vila Do Conde. The weather was pretty good for walking, a bit overcast and Southerly winds. It was flat all the way, with a lot of it on boardwalks.
We got to the Municipal albergue at 4, but it was full, after opening at 3. One of the hospitaleroes suggested a unit with a double room for 50€, which seemed a bit overpriced but we took it. It's not too bad, and is right across the road from a restaurant where we had dinner. It was a bit better than last night's dinner, where they forgot to give me chips and we spilt my beer 😳.
Looking like a few showers tomorrow, but we've booked a casa rural (B&B) for the night.Read more
