Vale Seco to Santiago do Cacem

The last day of my month long exploration of the Rota Vincenta ended in Santiago do Cacem. The place seemed to pitch itself as a Santiago de Compestello knock off. Note the graphic art to the entrance of the town. 

I met two very pleasant people from Germany, Peter and Helga. They were about to embark on their own journey of the same route

Finally, I made my way back up to the top where the motorbike is, and a Poetuguese guy my age standing in a wet suit is there looking kind of annoyed...like i discovered his stash. I asked in shitty Portuguese "Is it possible tp get down to the beach". The guy pointed and escorted me to the path to get down, totally doable!
