Last year on the Camino Francis in Spain the path was so well marked with many yellow arrows and shells that it was difficult to lose your way. This time around I was beginning to get a bit concerned because there were next to no markings coming out of Lisbon. We were completely depending on our gps/maps which I don’t really like because my phone battery tends to die very quickly.
So, when we came across our first official Santiago and Fátima arrows we were overjoyed and we may have gone a little overboard taking pictures of them!!! 🤩 The fun thing is you never know where you are going to find the next markings!
It was a beautiful walk today continuing along the river…the breeze is so nice and almost gives us wings!!! ALMOST!!!
We walked approximately 20 km today from Santa Iria da Azóia to Vila Franca de Xira and so we were pretty tired but still in good spirits.
Our food for the day was Brazilian style from the pizza to the truffles!
All in all a good day! Deo Gratias!
Our Camino 2025 
without the markings it can be very ……….well let’s say scary, people have been known to loose the trail!👀
Brian the new fellow at the Parish was telling us he went on both the Pilgrimages, the one from France 🇫🇷 with Jacob and the one from Portugal 🇵🇹 with the girls. He said he preferred the one from Portugal 🇵🇹 as it had less people and therefore better lodging and food! I’m sure he would enjoy sharing stories with you when you are back!
It seems you have been walking 🚶♂️ 🚶 🚶♀️ a fair distance everyday, any blisters showing up?
Watch for the markings, this way, ⬆️, ⬇️, 👇! Don’t lose my grandchildren!🫢🙏
miss you!❤️

Oh wow! Yes it would be nice to talk with him about his pilgrimages! I am still not sure which one I prefer…
So far no blisters on the feet but some on my face and neck from the sun! The sun is SO intense here!!
