 Miles-10.7, Time-5:10, Weather-sunny warm, low 80’s & humid, Elevation-692ft. Before we get into today, I need to talk about last night. We had a room on the second story of our hotel, facing the street, cute room but small. Unfortunately we were right above a bar and two restaurants with outdoor sitting also near by. Here in Europe they eat late and party even later. It was well after 3am before we were able to get any sleep!!!!. So after about 3.5 hrs of sleep we were up to start our walk.

This went on for a good 2 hrs before we stopped to have our daily Coke Zero and people watch. We finally reached the long stretches of white sandy beach’s and were able to meander down the concrete boardwalk for a bit. As we came to the end of one of the beach’s, I glanced out and saw a naked man walking on the beach, then I noticed everyone was naked, Yikes MY EYES!!!!. It was starting to get late in the day and we still had over 4 miles to walk so we veered off the coast and headed inland for a more direct route to our hotel. We ended up going up into Vigo then back down towards the harbor finally mak...
