Caminha is a municipality that is part of the Viana do Castelo district and where both the historic center and the coast are worth a visit. The beaches bathed by the Atlantic are of fine white sand and still preserve the dunes.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Lovely managed car-free section of the coastal trail. Smooth and well-paved, it is pleasant to ride and enjoy the views of the ocean all along to the west; just look out for pilgrims, and the occasional goat grazing and wandering across the trail.

🔟 Stage of the Camino Portugues 🇵🇹 in Portugal 🇵🇹 from Caminha to Vila Praia de Ancona

Get up early this morning to receive the Compostela. It went faster than expected and we could still go to the Spanish trade fair ... very moving 😊.
