Ponte Móvel de Leça: a Portuguese Coastal notice

⚠️ Important information for pilgrims walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino!

The Ponte Móvel de Leça, which connects Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira across the Leça River, is currently closed for reconstruction and is expected to remain closed for approximately three months.

To cross to the other side, pilgrims can use a free shuttle bus operating every 15 minutes. The shuttle stop is located near the eastern entrance of the bridge and is marked on the map attached to this post.

Please plan your route accordingly and share this information with fellow pilgrims on the Camino.

Buen Camino! 🥾
