Day 6 - Lugar do Corgo to Ponte de Lima

After the rain yesterday, the heavy showers last night, and the forecast of more of the same today, we wimped out and took a bus for this 11+ mile stage. We were more concerned with trail conditions than the rain itself, but we had no more dry clothes in case of heavy rain and slogging through muddy or flooded trails.

So we arrived in Ponte de Lima a little before 10am--a 20-minute bus ride rather than a 4 to 5 hour walk. We spent the day walking around this beautiful little medieval town, and are staying tonight in cozy little room in the Casa de Villa guesthouse.
