National Pilgrim’s Day in Portugal
The Municipality of Vila Pouca de Aguiar celebrated the National Day of the Pilgrim in Portugal, with a 10 km walk on the Portuguese Interior Saint James Way, last Sunday, October 16th.
The initiative comes to relaunch the pilgrimage from Vila Pouca de Aguiar, in stages, started before the pandemic, with the gradual objective of completing the arrival to the Compostela Cathedral.
A 10 km route along the Portuguese Interior Camino de Santiago as it passes through the municipality of Vilapouca de Aguiar served to relaunch the pilgrimage after the pandemic.
The initiative was also part of the municipal campaign “Pink October” dedicated to raising awareness to Breast Cancer.
The journey carried out was very pleasant, with a low degree of difficulty, following the ancient path of medieval origin, from Sabroso to Vidago villages, with great safety and scenic beauty for the pilgrim.
