Camino Portugués
9.5 km, 125 m up and 10 m down, through 2 places. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Caldas de Reis. 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.
On the way out of town, it is once more along the N550 (which frankly will be the case frequently between here and Santiago). Leave it to your right at the first bend in the road.
The walk to Santa Marina is through a quiet forest, away from the busy road. The bar is friendly and makes a welcome morning stop if you've left from Caldas. The camino crosses the N550 to visit the church in the upper p…
A hamlet between Santa Marina and O Pino. No services.
The camino only touches the back side of O Pino. A bar and a large albergue are about 200 m off the track — the albergue is clean, friendly, and has a shaded park in front.
Distances are the sum of the town-to-town measurements in my data, not a straight line on a map. Climb and descent come from the altitude of each place listed above, so they under-read where the path goes over a hill between two of them.
