When walking a Camino, one can't help but be touched by both history and religion in this land so deeply steeped in both. The cathedral in Santiago is absolutely awe inspiring. But, along The Way the small, simple houses of God are most impressive in their own right. On our first day, as we walked from Porto to Vila do Conde, this small chapel looked east over the Atlantic. Perched atop an austere cliff, we couldn't help but wonder who had visited here over the centuries and the number of souls touched by events that took place here. All along our journey, we were regularly reminded of the importance of the Church in the lives of a deeply devote people past and present.
