Portuguese Coastal, Part of the Primitivo, Week in Vigo
WynChar Diary, April 12
Camino walking: Villa Praia de Ancora to A Garda, 10.9 miles in 6:08 hours, moving 3:45.
Elevations: up 135 feet, down 134 feet, it would have been much more if we had gone over the big hill from the ferry to A Garda but we took the long way around along the ocean, a pleasant walk and worth not climbing up and down the hill.
Total walking: 11.69 miles
We took a small boat across the ria from Portugal to Spain.
Boardwalks: 20%
On the taxi boatWalking into A Guarda, España

Looks like such beautiful walking – love seeing the ocean alongside the boardwalk paths! Are you eating much seafood there? My mum & I plucked up the courage to try the pulpo one day… once was enough for me, but it was clearly much-loved by the Galicians!
Hi Claire! We are eating quite a bit of seafood, but not pulpo. We did try it a few years ago. We even tried it twice. But, it’s not for us either. I’m kind of glad we didn’t like it since octopi are such cute and smart creatures. But thousands of them must be eaten every day in Galicia.
Claire, where did you and your Mom start your Camino last fall. I’m wondering if it was A Guarda???
