day 1: Porto - Vila da Conde, 23 km

23 km hiking along the coastline or through dunes (exhausting on the sand) with the sound of the Atlantic Ocean on the background. Passing poor villages with lots of deserted houses. Fresh cherries and apricots and delicious koffie. Weather: 19 degr, cloudy. Holland and Germany, you are the lucky ones with sunny sommer! Nice hotel with a hot shower for the muscles.
