Luarca to Caminha
Sunday 19th August
It is a fair drive down to Portugal from Northern Spain so we decided to set off early for our drive across the mountains. As it was a Sunday morning the wasn't much traffic on the roads, which was quite fortunate as a lot of the main road is being upgraded from the N634 to E70 i.e from a main road to a motorway. When I printed the route off Google Routes I thought that it seemed very complicated for what looked on the AA road map to be quite a straight forward route. But with some excellent map reading, Google and good road signs we arrived in the campsite in Caminha by about 2pm.
It is strange but you can not book campsites in advance in Portugal, it's first come - first served. We had planned to travel down to Lisbon next but I think that we might just wander down the coast and stop where the fancy (and campsite availability) takes us. But we intend staying here for a few days, sunbathing, swimming and chilling....................it's a hard life.
