As our Camino starts in Porto, we have to get our first stamps at the Porto’s Se Cathedral.

We entered the church square at around 5pm and came upon some boys performing in front of a crowd. They are students from the University of Porto vocalizing beautifully. Note the uniforms they are wearing. This is where the author of Harry Porter got the idea of the school of wizardry uniforms for the movie. They introduced themselves as the University of Porto’s Big Band and they informed the crowd that their renditions are on Spotify.

The next pics are interesting. I took them while looking back on the square before entering the Cathedral. Lucky shots maybe? Or perhaps a good omen to mark the beginning of this year 2019 Camino Journey. I did not see the sun streaming onto the group when taking the pictures. They were not planned shots for sun angles. Just perhaps a couple of lucky pictures of the square before stepping foot into the Cathedral.

We obtained our first Camino stamps on our pilgrims passport and explored the church but this time entering some places we have never been before. We had visited this Cathedral in year 2018.

Here are the pics from our exploration:

We ended self guided exploration by both signing the Cathedral’s guest book.

Our Camino has now begun. 😊😊😊

Buen Camino!
