    Detour to Braga

    The trail is well marked with golden arrows or via XIX signs if you are observant. Easiest to miss is the sign at ponte de Lima golf course. Made it to ponte de Lima without incident although have to say that the festival was not conducive to sleep. Thanks to all for your help.

    I have a wide foot with bunions and for years wore LL Bean hiking boots in wide. They have changed their sizing (and my feet got bigger) so I have been lost.
