Eventually, we made it to Valença do Minho. Usually, the trail passes through the fortress of the town, a really impressive and worth seeing protective wall built during the XVII and XVII centuries. However, the trail through the wall into the town was temporarily cut for pilgrims so we were sent through a shortcut bordering the fortress. We didn’t care that much because we had already visited it before. I would highly recommend to take some time to appreciate the thick walls of the fortress as well as walk through the old part of the town.

As I was saying, we were sent along the walls of the fortress that eventually lead us downstairs. At the end of the stairs, on the right corner, you can find the restaurant “Fronteira gastrobar”, which is the last Portuguese restaurant you will find in the Camiño. It is worth it to stop here for lunch because the pilgrim menu costs only 7€ and it is your last chance to enjoy Portuguese food. Everything was absolutely delicious.
