Coastal Boardwalk of Viana do Castelo

Highlight • Trail

Viana do Castelo is on the Portuguese part of the Way of St. James. We had a very good meal at the Adego do Padrinho. Very interesting decoration and a very friendly host. The "Praça da República" and the Santuário de Sta. Luzia are worth seeing.

Ecovia Litoral Norte 🚲

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.
