We left Casa Velha at about 8 a.m, alongside an American couple who we started chatting to: Susan and Steve Jones from Seattle!!
There were lovely views of the beaches as we walked with the rolling Atlantic waves.
They are a lovely couple & had walked the Camino Frances 8 years before, but Susan was dealing with Thyroid cancer (1 month post op) and a very recent broken toe. We walked and talked so the miles passed by easily. We had a longish coffee stop then arrived at Vilo do Conde at about 2 p.m.
We enjoyed a delicious sardine lunch together on the riverside, close to our accommodation. Susan and Steve went on to their accommodation; a 10 minute walk uphill.
Once we had checked in and had a rest we explored the town: the aqueduct, the convent/hotel & the square & church. Finally we had a little walk along the river then a nightcap at one of the restaurants.
