Portuguese Camino, Day 2

May 28 – Vilarinho to Barcelos

It was another long day, 19 miles. Hot weather and lots of walking on cobblestones, which made it hard. Our legs were tired, and Alicia got a couple blisters but took care of them. We ran out of water and the backpacks were feeling pretty heavy. But we made it! That was our longest day on this Camino.

We passed some pretty areas, nice views. Barcelos is a small town with medival flare. Theres a bunch of statues of roosters. Theres is a story to it. A pilgrim was condemned for something he didn’t do. He told the judge that if he was innocent, the judge’s roasted dinner (a chicken), would rise from the plate. That happened, and the pilgrim was saved. walking over bridges
