Our original plan was to go to Esposende, however, the Camino Portugués, has become a very popular place and all the Albergues in Esposende were booked. So, I found a very nice albergue near Esposende in a town name Fão. The host, Luis is fantastic.
As my experience from Camino Frances thought me, everyday is unique, and with new challenges. Today, the day started overcast and windy as we walked in the outside of Villa de Conde, we found some great surprises. One of them was the celebration of Noite Branca, which means the following:
“Noite Branca de Braga is a 3-day festival that presents a large cultural program including concerts, exhibitions, performances, arts and light installations as well as community built projects. The last edition was actively participated by an audience of 300 thousand people. Since its earlier editions, Noite Branca de Braga as progressively become an anchor of the strategy of the city to promote creativity and innovation as essential values for social and cultural development.”
I found this to be a great concept for a city
The weather turn from overcast to rainy and windy and we quickly started to get layers and getting the rain cover for the backpacks
As you walked you find Art inspired by the camino, some done by the city and some by the fellow pilgrims
We are still walking in cobblestones and my feet still hate me. Today, we didn’t had any beer and Diana and I walked more than 13 miles without a significant break and arrived to our albergue at 1:30 pm, of course, they open at 3:00 pm, so we when for lunch and vino verde immediately, of course, just to kill 1-1/2 hours, we had a great time and the lunch was fantastic. That’s all for today !! Buen Camino….
Until next next publication
