Viana do Castelo to Caminha Distance: 27 km Accommodation: Bom Caminha Albergue This was a day of two halves and one I would remember for quite some time.

Fao to Viana do Castelo Distance: 27km Accommodation: Alex Point Guesthouse It was another eventful day - slightly hot, but one I will remember.

Vila do Conde to Fao Distance: 23.5km Albergue: The Spot Ofir Hostel A solitary walk today and a return to an albergue I stayed in last year, so I was very much in my element.

Happy New Year to all my readers. I hope 2023 is filled with happiness and all your wishes come true.

As 2022 slowly rides off to the sunset, I fondly look back on May's Portuguese Camino while I look forward to next year's Caminos at the same time. With little more than 4... Continue Reading →
I was looking at the calender on Friday and noticed how much of the year had been eaten away. Is it really 2 months to 2023? I remember wishing in the New Year with the tones of Carlos Nuñez in the background. But that was January and today is October 30th. Got to keep on... Continue Reading →
