Pastor Bob & Jeannie
Finished 3 Weeks on the Camino
Enjoy some of their highlights below!
They arrived in the city of Porto with this fabulous view!
Chocolate salami and a chocolate pig, specialties of this region, were their rewards for reaching Porto.
One of the many beaches they passed in Portugal over the last week.
Sangrias in their various forms have become their drink of choice. This one is from the Suave Hotel in Esposende.
One of the make shift shrines on the trail where pellegrinos (pilgrims) place mementos of loved ones or leave the “rock” they have brought with to “let go of.”
Pastor Bob in one of the wooded trails north of Porto. These wooded areas provide such physical and mental relief via their shade and greenery.
In the city of Viana de Capela they experienced the unique, delicious and very filling famous Portuguese specialty, “Francesinha,” or “The French Maid.” It is like a Portuguese version of a Monte Cristo.
City view in the beautiful, historic town of Viana de Campotela.
The very northern coast of Portugal, spying the ocean through the forest.
Awaiting the water taxi to take them across the Guadiana River to Spain!
Sunset in Oia, Spain.
The Royal Monastery of Saint Maria de Oia, built in 1137. It was a Cistercian monastery which means these monks left the Benedictine order to live a stricter more solitary life.
