Pilgrim Altar

Highlight • Structure

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.

May 15, 2025,Ponte de Lima - Barcelos

In general, I'm having a hard time getting used to the cycling paths in Portugal. So much cobblestone, often quite rough, isn't pleasant to ride on. Especially on steep climbs or descents. The scenic beauty makes the effort a little easier. Today, for example, was a very nice tour with two tough climbs and, once again, many sights.
