    Difference in walking Litoral to Central route

    I don't recall many cobbles on the coastal. Walk out of Porto along the Douro to the coast and miss the urban sprawl. Surfaces were good loved the boardwalks easy on the legs knees (they have a slight give on them) I don't recall any real hills until after Redondela the memory fades after a...

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    I imagine that for your run of the mill survey ie How was your experience today, rate you delivery driver in no more than a thousand words will get short shrift! This is a tick in a box nano second response ! I am going to look daft if i am wrong:)

    Guide Dog Teams doing the Camino Ingles, perro guía

    The law and reality are two different things and worlds apart when you walk in the shoes you find the truth! I have worked a G/dog for twenty years; one dog is hard enough the challenge to find somewhere for six or seven is even harder. I was physically stopped entering a supermarket three weeks...

    Guide Dog Teams doing the Camino Ingles, perro guía

I love the sea and it's an easy walk out of Porto. It's pretty much flat along the boardwalks which are easy on your feet and legs. Once...
