Hola amigos, I'm catching up on my Camino notes to September 30, 2018. More stories to come. Almost our last day in Portugal and the best yet. We walked again on the sandy beach and walkways, by water almost all the way. Swimming and wading into the cold sea. Brrr. Earlier in the morning, the … Continue reading Notes from the Camino Portugués por La Costa

Day 2, Day 3 Labruge to Póvoa de Varzim, Day 4 Esposende to Chafe
First to recap the end of the walk to the village of Labruge. I walked with Pilgrims I met in Porto and we decided to stay at the donativo Albergue S.Tiago, about a km from the Coastal Camino. We were the first to register and choose our camas, no literas (bunks). Then a beach walk … Continue reading Day 2, Day 3 Labruge to Póvoa de Varzim, Day 4 Esposende to Chafe

Redondela to Pontevedra on the Portugues Way
Hola amigos, I am catching up on my stories. We are in the Galician area of Spain, walking closer each day to Santiago. Rain is predicted, and expected for the green and lush region. I know I'm in Galicia, too, because I've seen many Horreos. Do you what these are? The Route is lush, green … Continue reading Redondela to Pontevedra on the Portugues Way
Porriño to Redondela, España
Hilly up and down on hard surface and more beautiful vineyards, orchards. I don't remember a soft trail on this stage, oh maybe one or two, but mostly steep pavement, even though we walked through a lush paradise. About 17-20 Kms. into a busy town. I have a small wound from a small fall, with … Continue reading Porriño to Redondela, España

By … Continue reading Valença Portugal to Porriño Spain

Our morning started around 5:00!a.m. today as everyone was ready to move … Continue reading One Foot in Portugal, One Foot in Spain
