If anyone is passing through Pedra Furada...

image.jpgBetween Rates and Barcelos, there is a restaurant (Restaurant Pedra Furada) where I stopped for breakfast. A very nice place, recommended. At the restaurant they were selling a book (see photo). I wanted the book but didn't buy it then, figuring it was weight to carry and I could always buy it online on Amazon or something. Unfortunately, I cannot find it anywhere. If anyone wants to pick up a copy and mail it to me, I will happily reimburse costs. Alternatively, if anyone knows where this may be acquired online, I would be grateful for the information. Either way, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Maybe you can contact the restaurant to see if they can send the book to you or put you in touch with the author.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I'll phone them to ask if they still have some to sell and how it can be done.
That would be much appreciated! If not, I will try and contact Antonio's place in Pedra Furada. They had some for sale a couple of months ago.

Thanks!

I tried contacting him (and the general email address JLuis provided) and we'll see what happens. I can see why those pages were of particular interest. :)

Maybe the municipal is closed because of Xmas holidays.
He definitely will answer you.
The book is great ,first because of the aquarel paintings and drawings, second it is the description of the route from Porto -even a bit of the Variante Espiritual and third for me personally for my Portuguese study. Very happy with it thanks to you because I never heard about it before nor never saw it before although several times we stayed at Pedra Furada and in Barcelos

Happy 2019

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
