When you walk from Porto along the river, and then along the coast, you have to cross a bridge from Matosinhos to Leica de Palmeira. This at kilometer 11.5 after leaving the cathedral in Porto.
This bridge will be out of order for around three months starting this Monday. The city will provide buses every 15 minutes to bring pedestrians on the other side.
You’re going to find the link to the article published in the local news and the comments.

On the Camino, we do not always need to walk further. Sometimes we only need to look more carefully.

In Padrón, very close to the Camino, there is a plaque with one of the most beautiful reflections on walking, wandering and pilgrimage.

The words were written by Camilo José Cela, Galician writer and Nobel Prize in Literature, born in Iria Flavia, near Padrón.

And this is not just any place.

According to the Jacobean tradition, it was in Padrón, by the Pedrón, that the boat carrying the body of the Apostle Saint James arrived. In other words, Cela writes about the roads of the world in one of the places where, symbolically, everything began.

Many pilgrims pass through Padrón already focused on the final stage to Santiago de Compostela. Some do not notice the plaque. Others may not realise that they are standing before one of the most important places in the whole Jacobean tradition.

“The wanderer, already in Iria Flavia, kneeling before the altar that rises above the Pedrón, prays for his bitter flesh and for the bitter flesh of all the wanderers of the earth, of men of every people, of every height and every gaze, who live and die along the roads of the world, those roads whose destination we never truly know.”

Every day, pilgrims pass by the Church of Santa María de Adina. On the other side of the cemetery wall, less than a metre from their steps, beneath an olive tree, rests the simple grave of Camilo José Cela, almost always silent and unnoticed.

But the Camino is also this: learning to see what quietly waits for us along the way.

Culture, memory, literature and pilgrimage meet here, between Padrón and Iria Flavia, in a place where the Camino becomes more than a route. It becomes a way of understanding the human journey.

Bom Caminho.

Every day, new stories begin.

Today was no exception.

Pilgrims from different countries, different backgrounds and different reasons for walking gathered at Porto Cathedral for the Pilgrim Blessing before setting out on their journey to Santiago de Compostela.

A moment of reflection, hope and gratitude before taking the first steps on the Camino.
