May 10, 2023,2023-05-10 Wanderung von Angeiras nach Praia de Vila Chã 🇵🇹

Yesterday we drove about 350 km from Alcántara in Extremadura to Angeiras north of Porto.

This morning was washing day and afterwards we made a nice hike from our campsite in Angeiras to Vila Chã…. great along the Atlantic coast…. Sun, blue sky, a few clouds, some wind and a pleasant 20°... ideal weather!
