Bom Caminho – 23 km – Anha
Another day starts for me. My plan is to reach Viana do Costelo in 27 km, but I will not get there. The ball of my feet are already getting hot, not too bad, but enough to walk carefully.
First I have to cross the bridge again and walk through Esposende. For a while the Caninho will be close to the ocean.
Stopping for a coffee, it is still fresh, not cold, outside. There is always a bit of wind in the morning hours.
What I realise on this Caminho, it doesn’t have the same spirit as the Camino Francés, which I walked last year. Here it feels more just like a nice hiking trail. I didn’t walk the other Camino’s yet, but I truly believe that the Camino Francés is very special.
I love it to walk in forests, although here are many eucalyptus trees. Suddenly I heard the voice of motors. Here in the forest? Indeed three rally motorbikes came from the other direction. The smell of Gasoline for some moments.
Sitting here at the river and eating something I felt very peaceful. One of the moments you wouldn’t change for anything 🥰
And then there was one of these places where you can eat and drink just by donation. The guy gave me a coffee and left. Here I saw also a flyer for Albergue Casa da Carolina, where I am now.
When I reached Anha, I realised it’s still 1 hour 20 min. to Viana. Then I saw a sign for Albergue Casa da Carolina, just 500 meters. So I went there, rang the bell, the door opened, and I was in. I was lucky they still had beds without reservations. Super nice place here.
At 18:00 they are providing soup for 2 €. There is a café/bar closely down the road.
Enough for today!
