Camino Portugués
11.2 km, 155 m up and 164 m down, through 4 places, 2 of which have somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Antas. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
A small hamlet between Belinho and the Ponte do Sebastiao, with no services to speak of. Keep moving.

The Mosteiro de Sao Romao de Neiva is a Romanesque church that survives from what was once a larger monastic complex. The monastery itself is long gone, but the church retains its original portal and some carved stone de…
A small village between the Neiva river and the approach to Viana do Castelo. No significant services, but the walking through here is quiet and rural.
From Anha the camino makes its way to the very long dual carriage bridge that crosses the Río Limia.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 383 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 11.3 km.
