A short but memorable day—crossing from Portugal to Spain by boat! Between grey skies, rain-soaked cobblestones, and the thrill of the river crossing, the day carried that perfect mix of effort and adventure. We took the coastal route to A Guarda, ending the evening with seafood, warmth, and the sound of rain outside.

A confusing start, hidden trails, and relentless rain made this a testing day on the Camino Portugués Coastal. The route from Amorosa to Vila Praia de Âncora passed through quiet inland towns before returning to the coast. Despite the challenges, we ended the day in comfort—alone in a peaceful guesthouse, grateful for warmth, space, and rest.

Accommodation options were scarce on this stage, so Sujin and I pushed farther than planned—over 37 kilometres from Póvoa de Varzim to Amorosa. The route shifted inland before returning to the ocean, where stretches of beach walking tested our endurance. It was a long, quiet, and deeply satisfying day on the Camino Portugués Coastal.

After finishing my Camino Francés, I wasn’t ready to stop walking. Reuniting with a friend from the trail, we decided to tackle a new challenge—walking the Portuguese Coastal Route from Porto to Vigo. Our first day stretched nearly 40 kilometres along the Atlantic, filled with boardwalks, seaside views, and the freedom of beginning again.
