Porto, a phantastic city
...on the way...
wherever there is a street, there is a wall
Fuentes, many of them
historic bridges, many of them
plenty of "food" on the way

not many Peregrinos walk the Camino Portugese. In total I met not more than around 20 which is not bad for the mind! However, these six celebrated the success of the Camino and good bye at the same time!
then I picked up Christina, to show her some stops of the Camino starting at Finisterre,
the Cathedral,
including its roof, which offered a great view of Santiago.The Camino Portugese, not as serious and demanding as the Camino Frances, but a good practice for the Via de la Plate in 2009!
