9/16/23 Vilarinho to Barcelos

Today’s walk was a long, hard 29K. The scenery was nice. We were amongst a lot of agriculture ….vineyards, corn, etc.

We got out by 07:00 again and walked in off and on rain most of the morning. Maurice (Brazil) was with us off and on at the beginning. There was an old stone bridge that we crossed together. Awesome photo stop.

Seeing a bit more pereginos now. There were a couple of girls from Poland that we kept leap frogging along the walk.

We finally hobbled into Barcelos to a private room we are staying in around 4:00 pm. The cobbles are brutal on our feet. This was the farthest we ever walked and we have no intention to ever do this again.
