    Lots of different km estimates

    Hola Ana I personally loved walking over the bridge from Caminha to Tui there are markings on the ground showing where Portugal ends and Spain begins so at that point my left foot was in Spain and my right foot was an hour in the difference still in Portugal . Alan

    Routes from Porto?

    I went as far as Caminha then cut back in to Tui .
