Portuguese Camino, Day 4

May 30, 2019

Balugães to Ponte de Lima

Walked about 12 miles today. Started out with a hill, and it was pretty hot even early in the day. It was a pretty scenic countryside walk, which it made it much nicer. We saw more pilgrims today, that was nice. Also most of the roads were better to walk on, fewer cobblestones and more dirt roads. Walked by some vineyards, some farms, and saw quite a few animals.

Ponte de Lima is a cute small town next to a river. By the time we got to town it was very hot. We were all hungry so went straight to lunch, it was a good meal! In the afternoon we went for a walk, it was so hot! 92 degrees! Will take another walk later in the evening when it cools down a bit!
