It was a beautiful cloudless day on the Caminho. A little windy but beautiful nonetheless, the temperatures were moderate. We began with layers which quickly became peeled off.
Breakfast was good for the majority and a carb load for the minority.
We were chauffeured from Porto to Matosinhos where we began our Caminho.
After 5 miles or so we stopped for lunch.
A seafood soup but not what was ordered. We ordered vegetable soup – Oh well so much for ny command of the Portuguese language.
Dinner was in a local restaurant in Vila do Conde. The Villageois.
A beautiful very locally inspired meal with olives and a gorgeous tuna pate and homemade bread as starters.
Followed by Portuguese fish and chips
Fried cod-fish with homemade potato chips (otherwise known as crisps)
Followed by dessert, naturally.
Crene caramel and chocolate mousse
I neglected to mention the beautiful vinho Branca, but it too was wonderful.
We are now fueled for another wonderous day on the Caminho Portugues.
