Porto is a wonderful town. The riverfront is a treasure. Beautiful views. Lively atmosphere. Fun restaurants. It’s my second time here, and I’m happy to be back.
Today’s Walk
The guidebook suggests a 20 mile stage today. Um, no. I took a cab and shortened the walk to 7 miles. Much better since I did 19 yesterday.
The first few miles were on an old Roman road and were quite lovely. The rest were more urban as I approached Porto. Then bang… the last few steps over the walking bridge into Porto are fantastic with world class views.
Best Camino view ever?
As I approached Porto over the foot bridge, I thought… “This must be one of the best views on any Camino.”
For fun, I went back in my photos and found a few of the best views I’ve seen in my Caminos. I could have picked 50. The view of Porto from the bridge definitely deserves a spot high on the list.
The Pilgrims
Tomorrow is a rest day as my friends get accustomed to the time and we do a little sightseeing.
Bill on the Camino 
Amazing and I love that you’ve kept in touch with others that you’ve met along the way. Enjoy your rest day and a cab rid for sure sounds like a great “let me listen to my body and make good choices” move!
Thank you for sharing the incredible photos, present (Porto) and past Camino photos. Wishing you a journey filled with joy.
I vote for Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port as my favorite view. It looks other worldly.
