Camino Portuguese Day 21. 05/09. Porto - Vila Cha

Today I walked outside of Porto, through some residential and industrial areas, quickly passed it by, and walked basically the entire day within a very beautiful coastal way, by wooden walkway same as I walked from Espinho. LOVED it !!!

Starting with sunset from last night 😁

This Camino is very different, lots of people started in Porto. I see pilgrims walking all day today. I was trying to keep up with some pilgrims … but it seems everyone is rushing, no one really seems enjoying the walk.

I think Camino is a reflection of our life… we are always rushing, to get into a better school, get better job, better place to live or just stay overnight here in Camino. If you won’t rush, someone may take your place and you will have to walk more long distances to get a place to stay tonight… it’s not Camino, it’s a race… ruthless race.. 😔

Don’t rush living your life! Why rushing? You have certain amount of time in this earth to enjoy it! Those moments a priceless and won’t repeat tomorrow…

So overall today was very beautiful, misty morning and sunny afternoon. Sunny but windy 🌬️🌬️🌬️ very windy, that makes walking even more difficult physically because wind was all the time towards me right in my face… which makes an effort to walk harder. I’m exhausted today, physically and mentally too… still struggling with walking alone even though here is more people, but hard to keep up with because of that 🐀 racing 🙄😎

I walked almost 400 km from Lisboa!!!
