Services

A pleasant, shaded square and three albergues to choose from. The camino follows the road out of town toward Fontainhas, keeping left at the fork to leave the busy road before a curve. Old arrows point along the road — they should only be followed if the bridge at Ponte do Ave is impassable.

The Camino:

The camino follows the road out of town in the direction of Fontaínhas and keeps to the left at the fork, leaving the busy road just before a curve. It passes through a small hamlet and then crosses back over the road. Old arrows indicate that the camino continues along the road, but this way should only be followed if the bridge at Ponte do Ave is not passable.

The camino goes straight across the road to a set of stairs that take you down to the river.

Casa da Laura/highly recommend

I stayed there the two nights ago. Hosts were gracious and helpful. Good facilities and I spent some time on a chaise lounge in the shade. Hosts served port wine and sweet cakes. You do not want to miss this!

Pilgrim’s dinner at Tasquinha de Sao Bras

I enjoyed very much the pilgrim’s dinner that included a soft drink and coffee/tea. I chose the omelette and they also had codfish (looked like a huge serving) and something else. They also offered me a free glass of Porto red wine, and drove me back to the hostel (600m away) as it was heavily raining with lightning! How nice could they be!
