18km. A very cold start to our walking day, with rain on and off for most of the morning. We didn’t get breakfast at the Residencial we stayed at last night, so we walked 3+km to Grijo and got coffee … Continue reading

Day 18 Oliveira de Azemeis to Sao Joao da Madeira
10km. An easy day with just a few hours’ walking, interrupted by a coffee break, a stop for lunch and a visit to a Lidl supermarket – they are similar to the Aldi business model. Yesterday’s stage plus today’s stage … 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

Day 11 Ansiao to Rabacal
