    Back to Faro

    Did five days, one day early, to Beja before the heavens spoke(rain beyond comprehension) and the only opportunity to return was from Seville - so back to Tavira for one quiet night and Seville for two, where I spent the time locating the coquille ...

    Back to Faro

    At 8:30am Thursday I left to join The Way after calling back to the youth hostel to drop off my keys and pick up the picnic bag. It's not there! Oh I was meant to collect at 6pm the previous night? I was snoring around then (12 hours kip as the wind chopped through the valley). So I stopped for...

    Back to Faro

    Second pit stop at Pastelaria A Prova for more mineral water and a very delicious cheesecake. A takeaway cheese and ham sandwich - which was lovely! And I ate it leaving the village and heading off on the Caminho Nascente and leaving the GR15 as the option up ahead may be fully booked, or closed...

    Back to Faro

    For the first time in ages I actually don't know what I am doing. Doing here in Portugal on a road to nowhere... Walking through the resort strewn shoreline, following the Ria Formosa to its destiny. Passing between a giant of a manicured golf course to a town sat on the west side of the...

    Back to Faro

    I caught the train from Faro to Tavira and walked tiredly all morning. Yesterday was exhausting and I don't know if I can just fly then walk anymore. Anywho I am in Vila Real de Santò António...

    Back to Faro

    I might walk a bit of it to Trancoso. But I might also get myself back to Tui and walk to Santiago. That was impossible back in December when the rain came down as I plodded to the station in Âncora Praia five days along the Coastal

    Back to Faro

    Prior to dog sitting I went and walked 7 days from Faro to Fornalhas Velhas. Now I am heading back on Monday to Faro once more. Not sure yet if I try to get back where I left off or have two weeks out from Faro once more? I've a bit more time and can't come back prior to the half term break in...

    Starting Beginning of December

    I'll be ahead of you a couple of days? I am flying to Oporto on Friday from the UK. Fairly early evening arrival. Back in December 2020 I got from Lisbon to Figueira do Foz, with a couple of days stuck in Óbidos in pouring rain (a nice town to wait out of the rain) during the period when...

    A Journey on the Camino Frances: From England to Santiago

    Well it was for a lot of the way! Behind me the moon and Venus as companions and Jupiter to the west, but obviously I was walking south to Cabo do Fisterra. After almost falling completely down a flight of marble steps, which I had failed to recall coming to the communal area, I sighed...

    A Journey on the Camino Frances: From England to Santiago

    Getting from Stansted to Cambridge puts me in an ideal position for the 'trek' back to Yorkshire as there is a direct Flixbus tomorrow morning from Trumpington.

    A Journey on the Camino Frances: From England to Santiago

    Cheers but I have to think of my final destination. Stansted is not near to home so I can't stay there. It's just not sensible with London nearby...

    A Journey on the Camino Frances: From England to Santiago

    Don't know if this kind of question is allowed on the forum, but here goes: returning the UK (Stansted) this evening from Santiago and I've come across a little hitch! The YHA Cambridge, where I tend to get to when I return North from Camino-land is fully booked ... Has anyone experience of...
