A beautiful day for a walk. Today was a nice 14 mile walk in near perfect weather.

After leaving our hotel a little after 8:00 AM, the sun was just rising over the buildings in Povoa de Varzim.

The route kept the ocean within view almost the entire time. It’s very refreshing to walk with the ocean scent in the air.

One thing we found very interesting was seaweed being harvested along the coast. Seems this process has been going on for centuries here.

Today’s path traversed boardwalks, sand, & cobblestones.

You know who is celebrating his birthday on the trail.
