Stage 4: Marinhas to Viana do Castelo

Today was 15 miles long and 1300′ of climbing. Totals are now 55 miles walked and 2300′ climbed.

Today was all about a journey from river to river. We started out in Marinhas, at the estuary of the River Calvado

and hiked inland until we came to the estuary of River Limia:

with a whole lot of inland walking in between

If we got lost, there were many helpful signs to direct us

There’s more to talk about concerning today but we have a number of chores to do and a long day ahead for tomorrow (18 plus miles). Net, we’ll cut this short and perhaps fill in details on a future post!

  1. The walks begin to get longer and longer. Looks like a beautiful country! 18 miles? That’s a lot for a day. I think mine would be 9 miles a day if I were doing it. However, I’d probably have to sleep on the side of the road if there’s no room for me. Wow! Lots and lots of signs. How could you get lost? Lol. Looks like Santiago is only 208 km. Enjoy the day and the night. Looking forward to hearing about the next step of your journey. Love you both.❤️

    1. Thanks, Willow! Yeah, this is a well developed Camino so it’s definitely possible to find intermediate accommodations. There’s also the taxi or bus options 😃. Yesterday (and now today) have been long, but they should me more reasonable after this. I say this, and I haven’t yet looked at tomorrow’s stage. Hopefully, it actually is shorter!
