Caminho Central

Our trail today took us from the coastal route to the central route. We walked to Barcelos today. Well, almost there- we got a taxi the last 9 kilometers. We had already walked about 22 and didn’t have 9 left in us. We were lucky to find a room here, in a hotel. Quite nice. Beds seem scarce in this Camino.

Lots of dry-stacked stone walls here, rural farmland and forest.

This is a beautiful place. People’s front yards are flower gardens.

They have a festival built around these kind of caricatures. This place is obviously geared up for tourists.

Finding a bed is a problem right now. I hope every Pilgrim here has one tonight. We have been calling about a bed for tomorrow with no success.
