Wise Pilgrim APPEsposende is a popular summer resort town, though one that feels considerably more subdued than the cities to the south. It has a relaxed, small-town character and a broad seaside boardwalk that fills with locals in the evening. The town sits at the edge of the Parque Natural do Litoral Norte, a protected coastal zone that extends northward and ensures the landscape ahead stays relatively unspoiled.
If you're interested in pre-Roman history, the Castro de Sao Lourenco lies just north of town -- a hillfort with excavated foundations and interpretive panels.
There are multiple ways through town but the easiest is along the pedestrian path near the sea. When it comes to an end follow the natural bend in the road to the right. From there the camino turns inland towards Marinhas.
