    Accommodation in Porto

    The albergue for pilgrims in Porto (https://albergueperegrinosporto.pt/) allows to stay there more than one night. I stayed there for 2 nights last October and at the same time, a pilgrim from Germany stayed for 5 nights. I am not certain what arrangements the German pilgrim had but this...

    Nely closes La Estrella del Camino

    I stayed at Neli's albergue in October 2023 and I used her help during my hike from Almeria to Granada. Considering what she had done for the thousands of pilgrims who started the camino at her place, she is the kindest hospitalera I have ever met. I walked a few caminos in Spain and Portugal...

    Hostels in Porto

    Hi Tim, I recommend Rivoli Cinema Hostel. They have very good location and are well connected with the airport. The price includes the breakfast. If you decide to stay in this hostel, I suggest you book the bed using their website not Booking.com. https://www.cineha.com/

    Accommodation in Lisbon

    There is a hostel at the train station (https://www.destinationhostels.com/lisbon-destination-hostel/). They offer private rooms ( and cheaper beds in a dormitory). Perfect location and super price. They also offer fun activities like free walking tours and fado evenings. I stayed there and...

    Sleeping bag in February-March?

    Laura, I walked from Almeria to Granada in October last year and each albergue had blankets. You may elect to carry a traveller insert (cotton/silk liner - 185 g) but, in my opinion, you don't need a sleeping bag (600 g plus).

    Charles de Gaulle to SJPP

    Good morning, I think two hours is sufficient time to get on your plane to SJPP BUT If you don't feel like two hours is enough to catch the plane, here is a very reliable method to get from CDG to Gare Montparnasse - avoid taxi and Uber. You need to factor the traffic and you may be stuck in...

    October: Camino Portugues or Camino del Norte?

    Based on what you written about yourself, I suggest you walk the costal part of the Portuguese camino. It is a walk along the ocean, through little towns, at time in the eucalyptus forest. A perfect environment for decompress after a tough year. Camino del Norte is more challenging, especially...

    Hello, I plan to walk from Almeria to Granada in the first half of October. What footwear should I select - boots with an ankle support (15 cm or 6"high) or just shoes. Please share your experiences. Thank you.

    terrain of Camino del Norte

    Both caminos, del Norte and Primitivo are physically challenging and I would not go against the advice from the physical therapist. I walked the camino del Norte last September and October and I can confirm that it takes a lot of stamina to climb and descent the hills. The Camino del Norte is...
