When we did the CF in 2013, we often drank Aquarius (similar to Gatorade but seems less sweet) which was readily available almost everywhere. Is Aquarius available on the Camino Portugues. If not, is there a Portuguese equivalent?
When we walked the CF in 2013, we met an Italian guy named Mariano who started the Camino with 87 €. He made it all the way to Santiago by staying in Municipal albergues, donativos and also by asking people if he could make dinner for them, collecting a fee that was slightly more than what he...
We arrive in Porto on the morning of July 13 and will walk to Vila Do Conde. We have hotel reservations in VDC but have been looking at YouTube videos about Portuguese food and our mouths have been watering. Any recommendations of restaurants or menu del dia in VDC or on the Portugues Central in...
I have looked at both the Brierley 2016 Camino Portugues Guide and the Harms 2018 Camino Portuguese guide and see no albergues between Tui and Porrino. Does anyone know of Albergues on this 17.5 K stretch?
I have a collection of lots of Spanish and Galician songs about the camino, but haven't heard many Portuguese Camino songs. Does anyone have any expertise in this area? Favorite songs?
My wife and I are planning on walking the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago in July of this year. I am a U.S. Citizen. She is Chinese and has a Green Card. Last time we walked (2013) we were both living in China and she did not have her Green Card yet and she had to get a Shengen Visa...
I am pretty sure that I wouldn’t have finished my Camino without hiking poles. They help distribute weight away from my flat feet and kept me from falling or slipping. I have rubber feet on the bottom of my Pacer Poles.
As an old Deadhead, I second Ian's "Ripple."
Some of my favorite songs for walking the camino:
String Cheese Incident: The Road Home
Cat Stevens: The Wind
Grateful Dead: Dark Hollow
Eagles: Peaceful Easy Feeling
Jerry Garcia: Poor Wayfaring Stranger (old folk song)
Grateful Dead; Been All...
I recently gave a talk and many people were intrested in why I decided to do it. Think about your audience and what they might want. What woud you have wanted to know before you knew a lot about the Camino?
LOL!:D There is something very satisfying in this. I was at a yoga retreat once and the leader had me clean up around the center. She called this "Karma Yoga." It sounds like some good karma yoga was happening on the Norte!:):)
As a psychologist, this Buen Camino! is of great interest to me. The Camino changed my life, but not in the way I though it would and in a much more subtle way than I expected. I am quite interested in the difference between what people are expecting to happen on the Camino and what does...
