Day 3: Valada

We are now 71.8 kms into our Camino. The weather continues hot with a high of 30 degrees. It's forecast to get even hotter in the coming days. Yikes!

Today, the Camino took us initially along a trafficked road, followed by the relative quietness of a path parallelling the railroad tracks, and lastly, along flat farmland roads.

We saw what looked like an infestation of snails on our travels today. They were covering everything from plants to walls to Camino waymarker signs.

We arrived in Valada around 3:30 pm, too early for our 4pm check-in, so it was vinho Verde time!Read more
