    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    I am sorry our paths didn't cross on the Camino Frances last April. Since you guys are ahead of me on the coastal route please give me any heads up or recommendations you find useful.

    I have taken note of your comments and really appreciate you taking the time to try to find your book with your notes. I will follow your advice to be on the safe side and stay on the Coastal at the point you mentioned.

    Thank you for sharing your websites, they are loaded with great information, pictures, maps, even a list of places to stay. I couldn't figure out how to subscribe to your feed, but will try again later on. You mentioned you would be walking in April the Central Route? What are your dates...

    Thanks for the warning. I did intend to go out at nights to explore nightlife in Lisbon, but will follow your recommendation and not go alone.

    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    Thanks for the great advice. I will make sure to look at the maps you mentioned, though I am not much of a map reader but I do ask people everywhere for directions. I will plan to go inland as you suggested to avoid the confusing areas on the coast. Nice picture!

    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    Thank you for your prompt reply! Would love to hear from you. Many things in common. I use to live in Madrid and of course my first language is Spanish since I am from Peru. I love Brazilian music, have danced samba in Rio's carnaval and currently dance salsa, bachata, kizomba and Brazilian...

    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    Thanks for the heads up on the Senda Litoral part that is tricky. I have bought Brierley's guide, but haven't read it yet, maybe on the long plane ride from LA? If you come across the information of where you veered inland to avoid the sand dunes, let me know, so I can keep an eye out for it...

    Thank you Oppis, I am more encouraged now after all the kind replies. Not sure where Redondela is, but I hope our paths will cross.

    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    Muito obrigada pela sua resposta Albertinho. Eu estoy muito feliz de saber que voce y seu amigo João vao começar a caminhar o mesmo tempo que eu e a mesma rota. Sera possível conhecer voces en Porto? Eu vou ficar em uma hostel chamada Bluesock Hostel Porto. Disculpa meu Portugues, eu sou...

    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    I walked the Camino Frances from SJPdP last year in April and met so many wonderful people along the way. Although I had intended to walk alone, I found I really enjoyed meeting all the interesting people and sharing dinners, wine and stories. This year I have chosen to do the Camino...

    April 3, 2017 Start in SJPP

    Thanks for letting me know how it works. I will look for my inbox, I agree with you, better to keep a smaller number of people who have similar plans and dates for traveling. I have some flexibility as I arrive in Paris on March 30th morning as when to start, but will be between April 1-3...

    Camino Frances in April 2017

    Sorry for late reply, I was out of town. The website is Skyscanner, it searches for fares through other websites. The one that gave me this fare was Explore Trip. The flights are 3/29 from LAX to Dallas on British Airways 4410 (operated by American Airlines) connecting to Paris on British...

    Camino Frances in April 2017

    Same here, want to make it to Roncevalles on first day. Have a little experience hiking Inca Trail and Himalayas , but a long time ago. I actually have flexibility as I will arrive earlier in Paris around March 30th, so I could start earlier, if weather is good.

    Camino Frances in April 2017

    Great, as we get closer to April we can coordinate better our plans. There are 4 trains on April 3 from Bayonne to SJPDP first one at 7:45AM last one at 18:06 according to internet. Also I think you can get your pilgrims passport (credencial) online ahead of time. I am just starting to plan...
