Walking Away is the blog of walker, writer and website builder, Rosemary Mann.
A glimpse into the fabulous Roman city of Mérida where we spent a glorious four days post camino.
Rain and storms as we get ready and then depart on the Coastal variant of the Portuguese Camino.
Another stormy day, but when the sun came out, it was magical.
A day of wild beaches, rainbows and custard tarts, ending in one of the nicest hostels.
Today the camino headed inland and the day was a mix of roads through towns and forest trails.
The nontraditional (and non-waymarked) way along the coast, mostly following the Ecovia Litoral Norte, made for superb walking.
The short boat crossing to Spain was a bit scary. There was not a dock on the other side, just a forceful landing onto the sandy shore, where the rain was pelting and the sand was blowing ferociously.
A rainy and grumpy morning turned to delight when we arrived at our castle-like accommodations in the beautiful town of Baiona.
A long but stunning day with rainbows, surfers and a couple of beach stretches.
