Today we made the start of the Caminho. We started the route in Barcelos. Two hours by train from Porto, past many stations. In Barcelos we had a coffee and then we were on our way. It took quite a while before we left all the neighborhoods of Barcelos behind us. But slowly the landscape became more beautiful. It was hot and there wasn’t much shade. The terraces that we thought we remembered from the cycling trip were not there either. Fortunately there was a well with cold water. And later we could have a cold Coke in a bakery. In Durraes we crossed the railway and then it was a short climb to our sleeping place. A lovely room in an agricultura hotel. People come here to relax for a week. We are the only walkers there. They even bought beers in the supermarket especially for us. We are about to warm up the vegan dishes that are waiting for us.

and tomorrow to Ponte de Lima
