November 7, 2024,🚶‍♂️😎 Rundweg Póvoa de Varzim nach Vila do Conde ⛱️🥰🇵🇹

Surprisingly beautiful way there along the coast with a towering monastery and impressive aqueduct and cemetery of Vila do Conde 😍. The way back along the pilgrimage route towards Santiago de Compostela was boring through residential areas 🥱. The way there was beautiful and recommendable ⛱️🐟🇵🇹🥰👍
