Today we went to Barcelos, just 17 kilometers, but also over 250 meters in elevation. Contrary to the weather app, it was perfect weather, no rain. No need for a navigation system, everywhere you could see the shell or the yellow arrow. Good paths through fields, forests, and small towns. Many pilgrims on the way, as this is the main route. Barcelos is the prettiest place so far (except Porto). There were also cyclists on the road, two are covering the route (280 kilometers) in 2 days🫣.
