We got an early start today because we knew it would be a much longer hike and there would be no clouds to break the sunshine.
Words cannot adequately describe the beauty of this portion of the Portuguese coast! We hiked 16 miles today, entirely up the west coast of the Atlantic, and almost completely on a wooden boardwalk. There were an untold number of gorgeous beaches nestled between rugged rock formations the entire length of our hike.
The difficulty of such a long walk this early in our adventure was made easier with three separate “Sangria Stops” surrounding our Pilgrims’ lunch.
We got to our apartment, which overlooks a seaside marina, about 4:30pm.
Have showered, washed our clothes, and hung them outside to dry. Will have dinner at some ocean side restaurant and then turn in for the night. LIFE ON THE CAMINO!
