Vila do Condo to Sao Pedro de Rates


It was a much shorter walk today traveling through the rural areas. Mostly on country roads lined with corn fields and a few vineyards. And the aroma of farm life was present the entire way. We were delighted when we arrived in the tiny hamlet of Rates with one Albergue, one mini market, one cafe and one restaurant. Just enough of everything to meet our needs. It was a hot day with very little wind compared to the day before along the coast, but the thirst was quenched quickly by a cold beer. Albergues are so much fun as we are able to meet pilgrims - today from Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Austria and Italy. The food tonight at San Antonio Bar and Grill was excellent - salmon and pork dinners with chilled vinho verde for 13E.
