The Coastal Route
The first day walking the Coastal Route of the Caminho Portugués was really spectacular. As I have mentioned in an earlier posting, we started our trek long the coast at the Matosinhos Market in Porto. Most of the way up to Vila do Conde was along a very well-maintained boardwalk which made walking most pleasant. As luck was on our side that Saturday morning, the weather could not have been any better. Just based on this one day, we’d certainly entertain walking the entire Camino de la Costa as a uniquely different way to experience the Portuguese Camino.
