Camino Portugués- Coastal Route: Day 6 – A Guarda to Oia, Spain

One of the few sunny moments all day.

We were surprised when we went to breakfast at 8:00 AM & saw that it was still dark outside. A 1 hour time change makes a big difference in visibility when planning your start time.

It was our coldest day on the hike with a foggy marine layer accompanying us all day. I was very thankful for my warm jacket.

Before we left A Guarda, we came across this lovely tree decorated by an artist using yarn.

Our route today covered 11 miles. Now that my body has adjusted & adapted to the new routine, it was nice to be walking a long distance again. Even though we often could not see the ocean due to the fog, we always heard its roar from waves hitting the rocky shore on our left side as we continued north.

Camino art is always a favorite of mine & I am endlessly grateful for those who take the time to create it for passing pilgrims.

I can never resist collecting images that represent the Camino.

I especially love these small little chapels along the way.

Just another day on the Camino.
