    Alert WARNING - indecent exposure leaving Ponte Lima 5 Jan 2024

    This happened in November 2022 in the same area to a peregrina that I met, just north of Ponte de Lima, pretty much in the exact same spot you marked on the map.

    Coastal Portuguese Camino

    Casa do Sardão in Carreço is really nice if you want to have a day with less walking and more chill-in-the-albergue time, with several cozy common areas. The dorms are also quite nice there.

    Extra Day in the Last 100km -- Where To Spend It

    There's a beautiful statue of St James at the top of a hill in Padron off-route that's worth seeing. It has a nice quiet green area that's great to sit in and reflect. Budget an extra hour to get up there, sit for a bit, and to return to the route.

    Coastal Camino in November

    Any idea on the state of the mountain paths after Ponte de Lima now? I can't imagine it's much better now since it hasn't stopped raining.
