Scene from the trail of the Caminho de Santiago in Portugal. In the background is blue sky, plowed farmland, and low brushy woodland. In the foreground are a concrete utility pole and other electrical equipment. The pole on the left bears a yellow painted arrow indicating that the Caminho goes left. The utility box on the right has a blue tile with a yellow shell and arrow indicating that the Caminho goes to the right.

As I often say, in Portugal the Caminho de Santiago is like a plate of spaghetti thrown on the ground.

Left or right? Just keep the ocean on your left and eventually you'll get there.

Beach scene of surf, blue sky, and dunes covered with green ice plant and intense pink flowers.

Wildflower meadow of green foliage with pale blue star-shaped flowers.

Woman wearing a blue backpack walking down a rural path consisting of a pedestrian boardwalk next to a dirt farm road with lightly wooded land on both sides.

On Wednesday our feet were itching so we did a mini caminho up the coast from Póvoa to Apúlia.

It was a nice mix of oceanfront and some stretches inland of the dunes where we got to enjoy the trees and wildflowers.
