Camino de Gastronomía Portuguesa y Gastronomía Española – Day 3 – Vila do Conde to Esposende

Posted on April 3, 2017 | 16 Comments

Distance Walked: 16.5
Total Distance Walked:30.7

Today was a long hard day walking for a while on boardwalk but for the rest of the day on granite cobblestone which is awfully hard on the feet.

But the day began with a marvelous breakfast.

Yes the scrambled eggs were almost orange in color and absolutely delicious.

We walked for a few miles and then stopped for some coffee.

Right before we go to the dreaded cobblestones, we had a wonderful lunch with a beer,

Vegetable soup with cauliflower

Followed by a beautiful salad.

The owner than brought us a glass of port.

Dinner tonight was in a local seafood restaurant.

Mussels and Prawns appetizer

Shellfish and Rice

Grilled Prawns

Now our stomachs are full, it is time for bed to dream of yet another day of walking.

Looked fabulous and brings back great memories, though, honestly, I don’t recall those meals looking this delicious.

  Steve this is a bit different from when we were on Camino, partly because it is coastal and partly because of the restaurants I’ve chosen.

    Sounds like you chose well. A small intimate group, huh?

    Yes Steve, I may just keep all my groups smaller. This is very nice and easy, not too many personalities to contend with.

Oooooh Arlene! That seafood looks absolutely delicious and I’m surprised you got your pictures before delving into the offerings! I always had my food half eaten before I remembered pictures. 14 and 16 miles make for long days but needed to walk off those meals. Keep the pics coming and enjoy!

  Lynda I’m trying to remember the pictures before we dig in, not always successful though. The long days of walking are tough though.

  Hey Jude, the food is unbelievable, that’s why I am blogging food this time and not the sights of the walk.
