    Porto to Vila do Conde

    No, none at all. The metro takes about 30 minutes from town center. I used the Mercato station in Matosinhos. You have to purchase a ticket plus your fare for the first ride. After that, just top it up. There is a placard with all of the stops. But the zone indicated next to the stop name. Buy...

    Porto to Vila do Conde

    Yes, I walked this stage in April and it was very pleasant. It's a relatively long stage, so I walked to Matosinhos the day I arrived and took the metro back to my hotel in Porto. The next day, I took the metro back to Matosinhos, with my pack and walked to Vila do Conde. The walk from Vila do...

    USA to Madrid, Madrid to Cairo separate tickets

    The minimum connecting time in Madrid for international flights is published as 60 minutes. You are an international transit passenger, so are not required to go through immigration s or customs. Hopefully, there won’t be any additional security, either, but Egypt flights may have additional...

    Breaking Up the Walk from Porto to Vila do Conde

    The first part of the Litoral is beautiful, you shouldn't miss it. You can hike from to Matosinhos, without a pack and take the. metro back to Porto for the overnight. Take the metro again the next morning back to Matosinhos to resume. You could actually do the same for the day from Matosinhos...

    Packing List Final Review. Starting in a week! :)

    As regards apps, you might want to add the Mapy.cz app, especially if you are walking alone. Using the outdoor map, you will see the entire camino. Additionally, you can download the map of Spain, so you don't need wifi for real time navigation.

    Accommodations on Camino Portuguese Coastal Route

    Hello Colette, It can be a bit daunting. How many are in your party? The first thing that I would suggest, is to get a good assessment of everyone’s fitness. Ideally you could do some trial hikes with packs and see how far your least fit person can go in 4 or six hours. Then you have...

    Lisbon airport, and not to be missed in Lisbon?

    As regards your driver, get his phone number and set it up in What's App. If you are nervous about getting out of customs in an hour, set the pick up time for later. He'll wait for an hour, but from the time you set. So you can push it back 30 minutes or more. If you're lucky and the flight...
