I considering "rushing" a state of mind, not of body. I like to walk fast, to test my physical limits as well as my spiritual ones. To each their own, of course! :)
I ended up walking the CP in 8 days, which worked well for me. I had planned for 9, but I would rather walk than rest! I then...
I am a generally fast walker and I had initially planned for 10 days, as per usual....BUT if I can swing it in 9 I'll have time to walk to Muxia or Finisterre so I was just wondering what people thought. I'll likely do the 9 day trip, and change my projection once I arrive and test the waters :)
Hey folks,
Sooooo I am looking to cut 1-2 days out of the CP "standard" Porto-Santiago 10 day trek. Below are my 9 and 8 day outlines, including kilometers. I would love to hear feedback from folks on whether they think its good, what I am missing out on, albergue suggestions, etc. Should I...
Has anyone walked in less time than Brierley suggests? I have no qualms with 30-35km days, so if anyone has a good itinerary I'd love to hear about it!
Hey friends!
Just booked my ticket for the Portugues, starting April 19. I'll want a day or two just to see Porto, so does anyone have any suggestions for:
- Albergues in/around Porto
- Things to See/Do
Also, where can I get a pilgrim passport in Porto?
Thanks everyone!
I am planning my CP as we speak, and debating a start from Porto or Santiago. I can handle longer days, so this might just inspire me to start in Lisbon :)
Hey folks,
I am looking at doing some or all of the CP for my second camino. I am just wondering about camping along the CP, and whether it is possible. I am going to hike the Appalachian Trail next year and just want to start getting in some camping practice, and thought maybe my next camino...
Thanks for the input!
Now, if you could only walk one section, either Lisbon-Porto OR Porto-Santiago, which would you walk?
Subjective, but it will help me decide if I want to walk it all or just a section :)
Thanks!!
Hey folks!
I am considering the CP in 2016, after doing SJPP-Santiago this year. I am just looking around, and it seems like the CP is much more expensive than the CF. Is that true? I managed the CF on under 20€/day.
Can anyone give a rough daily budget? I am super minimal, don't drink coffee...
Hey folks,
When I did the Camino in 2015 we were given a walking outline (distances, terrain) as well as a list of albergues for the Camino Frances in SJPP. I am looking into the Camino Portugues for 2016 – is any of this information available upon arrival in Lisbon, or should I snag a...
