Vila Nova da Barquinha

The Quinta is an abandoned palace that has been boarded up and left to be. Apart from the usual graffiti, it has gone untouched. With zero inhabitants this is an excellent spot to rest in the shade or explore a bit.

Definitely a potential filming location for a horror and/or zombie movie.

Probably unnecessarily, but as a solo female pilgrim, I was surprised by this abandoned town and walked extra fast through it.

My wife’s favorite place on the Camino! For some reason it spoke to her. Actually quite amazing walking by it on a rainy afternoon.
A treasure waiting to be re-woken from many years of slumber.
