The route goes to Barcelos, where the rooster from Portugal is from. I meet two nice men from Italy and we talk for a while. They like to stay in Barcelinho, half km before Barcelos because there are more albergues. I will go to Barcelos, not to \u2018little Barcelos\u2019. I cross the old bridge, there is a lot of water. And the rain season just begins\u2026. I stay in the Albergue of Barcelos, a big one, it is Donativo. It looks really cosy with nice colours and paintings. Entering the room, I see the two Italians and Mercedes, the woman from Argentina I met yesterday in the albergue. There is a small kitchen, a patio outside with a roof and one couch inside. I guess it will be a bit noisy tonight, but luckily no snoring man, yet. Obviously yesterday there was one man in another albergue that snored so loud that others could not sleep. They didn\u2019t spot him so\u2026 fingers crossed that I can sleep well tonight. Also this is part of the caminho. You don’t sleep well because people snor, and wake up and pack very early…<\/p>\n\n\n\n On my way I saw a sign of a Thai restaurant just one minute away, so I know where I will eat tonight. Oh, Google says it closed, really?! I will go at \u2018O As\u2019, the photo\u2019s look good, so I will walk five minutes to that place later. Let\u2019s have a good dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you like haute cuisine you have to go there for your dinner. The plate looks nice and it tasted also good, nice music and atmosphere is good. I will return one day when I visit Barcelos again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 7 Oct 2024 Heading to Barcelos… I wake up and it is dry. Great, perfect.

The day is a tough one, and of course I have a blister, a huge one. If I look back, blisters are part the caminho, at least my caminho\u2019s. So I slow down a bit. Around 16:00 I finally see the rooster saying ‘Bem vindo’ to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/casadalima.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Day-2-Barcelos-frango--scaled-e1728588184725-768x1024.jpg\")
