Étape numéro 18 de Coura de Parades à Alvelos du 14 octobre 2023.

Étape qui termine la partie portugaise du Camino et initie la partie espagnole (Galice). Itinéraire via Cossoudro, Fontoura, Valença, Tui et Alvelos (faubourg nord de Tui).

Étape marquée par le mauvais temps de hier, il a fallu modifier certaines portions du chemin parce que trop dangereuses et glissantes . Parcours de 26 kms. au lieu de 24.

a) Cossoudro.

b) Fontoura.

Fontoura is a parish in the municipality of Valença, Portugal. History The parish builds its roots in remote times, probably pre-Roman. In Grove appeared archaeological remains (pottery, ashes and coals), believing that, by its location and the rounded shape of the hill, there may have been fortified occupation. Also the middle of the ascent of Mount St. Gabriel, the site called Telhões, early signs of this life were found, since a brick pit was found there, filled with wedges of yellow metal, which the people attributed to the Moors. You can also identify an occupation immediately prior to citizenship: the toponym Boriz, Germanic root (results of the evolution of anthroponym Baudiricus) is a good example of the existence of this occupation in 9th and 10th century. According to tradition, the name Fontoura originated from a source close to the existing Casa Alta whose waters, according to legend, would bring some gold particles. It name was the Fonte d’Ouro. The place of Reguengo is connected to another legend. Queen Isabel stayed here on her return from a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. A famous son of this parish is marshal José Joaquim Champalimaud Nussane Lyra e Castra, son of a lieutenant colonel Paulo José Champalimaud de Nussane (engineer of Praça de Valença) and Clara Maria de Sousa Lyra e Castra, originated from the parish Ferreira, the municipality of Paredes de Coura. Born in 1771, José Joaquim enlisted, still a child, in the 21st Infantry Regiment, who manned Valença. At nineteen years he became a cadet in Porto. In 1791 he was already an officer, and the following year he was promoted to second lieutenant and assigned to the Companhia de Brulotes da Marinha. He fought Moroccan Buccaneers in the Strait of Gibraltar, when he belonged to the crew of the frigate « Dom João – Príncipe do Brasil ». Promoted to captain (1797), was placed again in the 21st Infantry Regiment. He directed the works of fortification in Minha and made the campaign of 1801, re
