Soooo, we cancelled the details of our trek on Spain’s Camino Via de la Plata and the Camino Sanabres, hopped on an unpleasant 5:00 am bus for four hours to Porto, Portugal to do a variant of the Camino Portugues.
We’ll overlap a couple of days from the Coastal route we did last time and plan to add on the Espiritual Variante close to Santiago. Then, who knows? Maybe a few days on another route if we have time.
We stayed in Zamora another day. Nice city of 66,000 on the Douro River, much of it behind the original ancient walls.
But like a typical medieval town, it’s built like a maze to throw off invaders. It seems you can’t walk anywhere in a straight line and when you do, the street name changes. I knew we were in trouble when we were greeted by this poster at the train station.
The rain gear is out, there’s a yellow alert for rain tomorrow. They say the Camino parallels life. It can’t always be sunshine and roses.
