9/17/23 Barcelos to Vitorino Dos Piaes

Last night we shared a nice tapas meal at Bistro Vigor.

Today’s walk was suppose to be an easy 20K but it rained on us all day. It was more like a forced march.

At one point we actually came across a new road being put down and they are using cobblestones! WTF. Enough with the cobbles!

We left later today around 7:30 and made it to Casa Fernanda albergue at 1:30. We are staying in a bunk house with 10 beds.

At the end of every walk it’s a real grind and somehow the next day we recover enough to walk on.

Another borderline interesting thing peregrinos do is at cafe stops is to sit outside and take our boots and socks off usually once or twice a day. Then before leaving we smother our toes with Vaseline again. You got to show your feet some love.

  1. Good looks great. And I mean this in the nicest way possible. Beth, the pic of you standing at the opening under a bridge makes it look like you have to answer 3 questions to pass! Look forward to this everyday.
