      When I arrived in Villafranco del Bierzo, it was really too early for me to stop for the day. So after a nice lunch in the town square, I hiked on to Trabadeo (only 10 km). And even though parts of that section were along the highway, it wasn’t a...

      Several pros of the CP is being able to walk along the ocean for several days. Porto is a delightful place to visit for a few days before starting out and Viana do Castelo, Baiona and Pontevedra are very nice stops along the way.
