The mouth of the Rio Douro is open. NO 1km detour.

News from a German Hospitalero who is serving at the camping ground Orbitur in Lavras for the pilgrims who want to walk along the Rio Douro to the Ocean.

"Road and footpath to the mouth of the Rio Douro is currently closed. Tram line 1 does not run. Bus 500 departs from the city as usual, but is then diverted to the Ponte de Arrábida to reach the Douro.

The newspaper of today says a diversion was arranged for pedestrians. Approx. 1 km detour with some up and down."

So a start in Matosinhos (Metro or Bus 500) or at Castillo do Queixo (Bus 500, mouth of Rio Douro) is recommended.

Bom caminho
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

How recent is that report? Because Marginal was reopened today...

Btw, it is Castelo do Queijo (cheese) instead of Queixo (chin)
