Drove up along the minor coastal road, must have been rush hour cos we saw at least 12 cars in an hour. Road deteriorated into a track thru dunes and pine forest for miles and miles (no traffic at all) before we reached the A1 north.
We spent just one night in the municiple site in order to have a longer look at the oldest university town in Portugal. Found somewhere to park, eventually, on south side of the river and walked over the bridge and up lots of steps and narrow cobbled streets to old university at the top of the town. Rosemary helped lady in internet cafe with her grammar - now understands the meaning of 'wherefore art thou Romeo' - should come in useful sometime! Looked round the old university (used to be a palace) and had some lunch with the students in refectory (bit like peoples college after senior screen) not sure whether we were supposed to - but it was cheap! I wandered into an out of the way tourist information office and was set upon by keen young lad wanting me to go to a music/craft exhibition. I think I was the only person he had spoken to all day - he needs to get out more. Coffee back in the square, found the van and headed back to the coast at Sao Jacinto near Aviero.
