It seems like the highway litter, but it’s not only at the highways but also at the small roads. I filmed a piece to give you an idea of it. Unfortunately I saw this up till now almost everywhere (except for the stretches around the tomatoe-fields and the vineyards).
I would seriously advise the coastal route from porto and if you have the time extend it with the variante espirtual taking the boat from vilanova de arousa (I didn’t and had a long day of traffic instead, a pity) i am walking right now from lisbon to porto as I wanted to ‘complete’ my camino...
I am currently walking from Lisbon to Porto and shocked by the amount of trash. I’ve wanted to clean a piece everyday, but it doesn’t make sense! Feels like we should go there with a car and tons of litterbags, because it’s everywhere!
You are right! It’s not only about the camino, it’s about everyday life. Making a habit out of this will surely make a difference since in the end you will have cleaned up so much. Thank you for doing this!
Wauw! This is already so extended! I never knew about this, but it’s great. would be perfect to combine with the idea of cleaning up certain parts or days.
A litte more than a year ago I walked the Camino Portuguesa por la Costa. It was one of the greatest experiences ever. I noticed a lot of trash around some parts of the camino. Lately I have been more consicous about plastic-pollution and the future of our beautiful earth. The camino comes back...
