    Cruz de Ferro Equivalent on the Camino Portuguese?

    That is, of course, hyperbole and not expected of any pilgrim. It is expected that I will take food and drink. It is expected that I will leave money and, um, "used food and drink". They say that pilgrims often leave things behind at albergues for pilgrims following behind. It is expected...

    Fuseta before (or after?) Camino

    Martin, That they were born of fisher-folk stock doesn't surprise me: my brother, father, and grand-father were all fishermen, and my great-grandfather (Jose Rolão, the one who immigrated from Fuseta) was a sailor. We will definitely be visiting there! Thanks, Joe

    Fuseta before (or after?) Camino

    Thanks for all the replies. Sadly I do not have the time to walk the whole way from Fuseta. I was talking to my brother about it this weekend, and we're now thinking we'll start our caminho thusly: Fly from the states into Lisbon. Train or Bus from Lisbon to Fuseta. Train or Bus from Fuseta to...

    Cruz de Ferro Equivalent on the Camino Portuguese?

    Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! Wait. Now I'm confused. Based on this statement, I feel like I shouldn't leave a stone behind.

    Cruz de Ferro Equivalent on the Camino Portuguese?

    One of the scenes that really spoke to me in The Way was the scene at the Cruz de Ferro. That, of course, is on the Camino Frances. Is there any equivalent customary location of symbolic unburdening along the Camino Portuguese?

    Fuseta before (or after?) Camino

    What an awesome idea! Thanks! I took the "street view walk" down the street after reading this. It's a small street, ending at a Church. Probably the church where my grandmother/aunts/uncles were baptized. How neat would it be to take my brother there? It's a shame it's not on the Camino...

    Fuseta before (or after?) Camino

    Sadly, I don't know of anyone still living there. My dad passed away a few years ago. All I know is that as a child, my grandmother lived on Rua Ingreja in Fuseta, and that her parents were Jose Rolão and Maria Diaz Griels (they passed on when I was young). They left Portugal in 1915 (and...

    Fuseta before (or after?) Camino

    I believe that's the one I mean. I don't speak Portuguese, and all I have to go on these days is a scan of my grandmother's Portuguese birth certificate.

    Fuseta before (or after?) Camino

    Over 100 years ago, before immigrating to the USA, my family lived in Fuseta (Fuzeta?). The sentimentalist in me would like to visit the birthplace of my forebears in conjunction with my Camino. But really, I don't know what I would do there. I have the name of a street from my Grandmother's...

    Class of 2015

    Hi! I'd like to join the Class of 2015! My brother and I will be walking in May/June of 2015, though we haven't decided the starting point yet. Porto seems too close, yet I'm not sure Lisbon will fit with my work schedule. Anyway, I'm glad to be aboard.
