In addition to the "sandy " discussion I checked my
Brierley book about the walk over the sandy beach- what was in fact the question of @
mishlove- and I quote Mr.
Brierley -3,7 kms after the bridge of Matosinhas there is the Obelisco-the concrete pillar momument- . Take the boardalks wherever possible but be selective (?! We just followed the yellow markings
) e.g. It might be preferable to take the sandy beach here for 100 meters to rejoin the boardwalk further on rather than take the boardwalk back to the road. Looking back on the map in his book , is it a kind of (heavy duty
) shortcut over the beach With a bonus for your climbing efforts on top of the dunes , a nice view over the ocean and the coastline on top of the rock where the monument is.
Take care not to get sand into your shoes,avoiding blisters.
this said I continue concentrating on our new adventure within less than 5 months , the Camino Inglès.So Iam reading in all the fantastic comments, advises,remarks etc at this great forum to be prepared for what is coming .
Bom caminho from this side of the world
