Hiking
Just before reaching Ponte de Lima on the Portuguese Way, a small altar leaning against a tree invites you to pause. Surrounding it are messages of all kinds—some funny, some moving, all with the soul of a pilgrim.
The generous tree offers shade and shelter. It's the perfect place to take a deep breath, recharge your batteries, and refill your bottle before continuing on your journey.

I call it a pilgrim's altar, which is presented just before Ponte de Lima on the Caminho Portugues: Many stones with sayings, scallop shells and everything else that the pilgrims could do without.
