Day 10 to Baiona

Day 9 to Oia

Day 5 to Antas
After a day and night in wonderful Braga I took a cab back to Fao to rejoin the route. Seasides, sun, sand dunes and market gardens were along the path today. Walked the literal route - there are signs at the beach parking lots...
We loved Braga! Have a great time. The rain here is forecast for the next 4-5 days. But more serious 1-2” per day. So we will take our time. Be careful
