day 24, Tui to Redondela 36.4 km
25 May 2014 Total distance walked 576.9 km Average daily distance 24.04 km I just want to revive yeaterday’s rant. The Tui municipal albergue is a fantastic facility. A beautifully renovated ancient building, no expense spared on high quality materials, … Continue reading
Day 23, Rubiães to Tui, 22 km
24 May 2014 Total distance walked 540.5 km Average daily distance 23.50 km I’m quite afronted as I write this, but I shall explain why later. I slept a very comfortable night at albergue Ninho in Rubiães. I felt a … Continue reading
day 22, Lugar do Corgo to Rubiães, 35.6 km
23 May 2014 Total distance walked 518.5 km Average daily distance 23.57 km I forgot to put in yesterday’s post that Fernanda first took in a German pilgrim who was in dire need of help and had been turned way … Continue reading
Day 20, Vilarinho to Pedra Furada, 23.5 km
21 May 2014 This morning I resisted the urge to get up on waking – not too hard as I could hear the rain belting down outside. The Australians James and Fitz, were up first and left about 6 am. … Continue reading
day 19, Porto to Vilarinho, 28 km
I was awake early so quietly got myself ready and crept out of the room, leaving Elly asleep. As forecast, I could hear that it was raining so fitted my home made (well, not exactly home-made, but home ‘adjusted’) backpack … Continue reading
Day 18, Grijó to Porto, 17 km
19 May 2014 This morning began just as strangely as last night ended. I had mentioned to the young woman carer that we would like to leave between 6:30-7:00 am and she said she would tell her colleague to open … Continue reading
day 17, Oliveira de Azeméis to Grijó, 32.25 km
After posting my blog yesterday I continued to wander the streets of Oliveira de Azeméis. It was a lovely afternoon and evening. All the savoury food available involved pork, either spit roasted or braised in oil. There were also many … Continue reading
day 16, Albergaria a Velha to Oliveira de Azeméis, 22 km
Albergaria rose in my estimation when wandering around the town in the evening we discovered it was hosting a national bread festival. The “Festival pão de Portugal” consisted of many stalls of artisan bread, and of course cakes, and some … Continue reading
day 15, Águeda to Albergaria a Velha, 16.5 km
The day didn’t start too well. There were eight of us staying at the albergue. When I arose I could see that the bathroom in the accommodation was in use so I went outside to use the facilities off the … Continue reading
day 14, Mealhada to Águeda, 26.75 km
15 May 2014 Today was a hot one. When we left the albergue at 6:30 am it was warm, with little breeze. And it just got hotter and hotter throughout the day, until I guess it reached mid thirties. We … Continue reading
day 13, Coimbra to Mealhada 28.8 km
14 May 2014 I reported yesterday that our room was in a great situation with views out over the river and the lively street below. I think I also mentioned that Coimbra is a university town, the students’ attire is … Continue reading
day 12, Condeixa a Nova to Coimbra 21.5 km
It was a lot milder this morning, with little wind and a clear-ish sky. Getting out of Condeixa was a bit of a chore because we left by a different route to that by which we had entered, and it … Continue reading
Day 11, Alvorge to Condeixa a Nova, 26.5 km
12 May 2014 After my early rise this morning, we were off by 6:30 am, into very misty and quite cold wether. I put on my thin gloves for the first time and had my full compliment of fleece with … Continue reading
Day 10, extra
I forgot to mention that the church albergue In Alvorge is ‘donativo’ whereby you donate a sum if you wish. It is very generous of the church to give over the basement of this building to pilgrims and I am … Continue reading
