I think we’re both enjoying this camino a lot more than the last one – something to do with not staying in albergues and getting woken up at ridiculous hours, and the Portuguese food and people are a lot nicer than the Spanish food & ppl too. The walking is now at the stage where I am enjoying it too. I don’t think we get to Viana do Castelo – it’s on the coast and we’re heading north via Barcelos and Ponte de Lima. We have talked about doing the coastal route, but the forecast is for temps under 20C and rain, and it would be much windier on the coast. Plus, some of the walking is on sand, which would be …. challenging with a full pack.

You’ll soon be passing through Viana do Costello. It has quite a pretty little town centre.
