Boardwalking the Camino Portugués da Costa -

Highway to Health -Porto to Caminha

Amid Winter illnesses, a Camino veteran recalls the sights and sounds of the Caminho da Costa, North of Porto: boardwalks, endless sand and sea, wild gulls cry, and swallows scything an expanse of blue.
He dreams of returning and books a flight, hoping that sea air and coastal walking might coax him back to health.
This personal story, told midst magical settings, then merges with an Atlantic one, weaving together snapshots of Portugal's past and present. Telling the tale of a coastal people's courage and resilience, their embrace of James, the fisherman disciple, and the Legend of his return to Iberia—the story that set so many other journeys in motion.
This story is a hymn to the power of walking, intentional breathing, hope, and the enduring magic of the Camino.
