    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    Val Carlos way is beautiful. Enjoy!

    Tomorrow is the day! Yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've walked two Camino's (2022 and 2023) and never had a single bedbug with zero treatment to my bags. I think you'll be fine.

    Wise Pilgrim or Buen Camino or both?

    I suppose it depends on which Camino you are walking. I found it necessary on the Camino Portuguese as signage can be spotty.. although a guidebook would work too. If you’re walking the Camino Frances, you won’t need an app at all.

    Sun Sleeves?

    Yes. I’ve worn them for many hikes before for Sun protection. The Pearl IZumi Sun Sleeves from REI work great!

    First Pilgrimage

    The way to Fatima is well marked in Portugal. You’ll have no problem following the blue arrows.

    How long is the Meseta?

    I loved the Meseta. While it is flatter agricultural land, it is quite beautiful and in some areas stunning. I walked the Meseta in Sept 2022, and you do need to watch out for heat/shade, but other than that, you'll be fine. Took approx 6-7 days. Well worth it. I wouldn't skip it.

    Is it necessary to book a place to sleep every day on the CF?

    I'd call ahead the day before and secure a spot just to be safe.

    Stay in SJPP overnight or start for Orisson

    Stay in SJPP and start fresh the next morning. You'll be glad you did.

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    42 days isn't that long from SJPP to Finisterre. You may find you need more days depending on how many km's are comfortable for you to walk each day. You'll make friends and not see them for a few days and then see them again on another day. Some you may never see again.

    Santiago to Lisbon.

    It's not going to be very popular, but there will be people walking that direction on the Fatima trail, which does travel a good part of the trek on the same trails as the Camino. I'm sure you can get a pilgrims passport in Santiago and have it stamped as you travel to Lisbon.

    It will be warm. Stay safe pilgrims!

    It’s currently 42 here in Portugal. Not cooler. 🥵

    First stop out of Lisbon, Camino Portuguese.

    Onsat I stayed at Alfa 10 a couple days ago. It’s was decent, clean. My room did not have A/C if you care about that.

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    Correct. The wooden esplanade along the water looks ready, but it’s still fenced off with a chain link fence. However, the walk to Alpriate runs on a dirt trail along an estuary. It was quite lovely and off from the roads.

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    Verdelha. The path off the Camino is short and easy to get to.

    starting from Lisbon

    There’s some walking through cities, but the walk along the river is quite nice. I’ve not found a lot of highway walking.

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    Me too! I’m on the same path and sounds like one day ahead of you. Loving this trail so far. So glad I chose to start in Lisbon.

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    Sad to say that while the new bridge is open, the walkway once you cross the bridge is still closed. So no path that way yet as of Aug 16.
