Day 29 Redondela to Pontevedra
22km. We were up and out the door before 9am, mainly because it’s rare for breakfast to be included in the price of a hotel room, whereas in Portugal it was almost always included. Doesn’t really matter to us as … Continue reading

Day 26 Rubiaes to Valenca
18km. Our last day in Portugal, and we’re feeling a bit sad that we’ll be leaving tomorrow. We had a ‘simple’ breakfast at O Repouso do Peregrino Pensao with our fellow pilgrims, then packed up and were on the road … Continue reading

Day 16 Agueda to Albergaria-a-Velha
16km – but somehow we still managed to stretch it out and take most of the day to do it. Knowing that we had a short distance to cover, we took our time over breakfast and packing up, so we … Continue reading

Day 12 Rabacal to Condeixa-a-Nova
14km. Late start to the day because we wanted to have a look at the Roman Museum next door to the albergue, and it didn’t open until 10am. Well worth a visit, with lots of artifacts from the Roman villa … Continue reading
