I started in Lisbon and will eventually walk the section featured in Tilly2's link.
I've already encountered two locked gates on the trail where it runs parallel with a busy railway line.
They're there to prevent fly tipping , and in that they're successful, but they mean walkers have to get closer to the busy tracks than is comfortable.
I've had two unusual meals for dinner, on Saturday a bean and cow foot stew (surprisingly tasty) and yesterday , in the only place that was open in Vila Franca, a bean and tripe take on the same dish.
Within a couple of hours I was spewing it all up .
That was my first, and last, taste of tripe.
