Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino Portugués app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

The Obelisk marks the spot where liberal forces under Dom Pedro IV landed in 1832 during the Portuguese Civil War, the same conflict that would earn Porto its nickname as the Unvanquished City. It's a simple stone column, but it marks the beginning of a particularly pleasant stretch of beachfront walking.

The Camino:

From the Obelisk, keep on the beach-side walkways straight ahead. You will pass several bar/restaurants along the way to the Angeiras Sea Houses. The camino follows a pedestrian promenade alongside the sea.
