    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    We loved Braga! Have a great time. The rain here is forecast for the next 4-5 days. But more serious 1-2” per day. So we will take our time. Be careful

    100km marker in Vigo? Where is it?

    Don’t think there is one. One app “starts” at not the cathedral by the waterfront but at the Alta Cruse. We left Vigo 2 days ago - stayed near the train station Urzáiz - and that is the street that comes straight into the coast route! Our hotel was around the corner - 10 min from the port/old...

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    Hello! Well, Jen love your photos. We are in Vigo seeing lots of pilgrims. The weather yesterday and today is wonderful of course, we start tomorrow with the rain. Rethinking gear. The Decathalon store here in Vigo was OUT of anything Camino-based. Or cold weather gear. Not a hiking pole to be...

    Route from Vigo changed?

    I have actually studied this in some detail. Because we are starting from Vigo and then doing the Espiritial Varient and several other minor detours to add some km. If you look at the Vigo map photo, (pg 247 in Camino Portuguese-Brierley) you will see a dotted line going straight out from the...

    My upcoming planned Camino Portuguese

    We have decided we are too old to 1) have shared bathrooms and showers 2)listen to others snore - or not get a good nights sleep and 3) most albergues don’t allow bag/packpack transport - and due to health issues that would be a non-starter for me. (Back and hip surgeries). We are hoping along...

    My upcoming planned Camino Portuguese

    The Wise Pilgrim app has a link to book the boat out of Vilanova de Arousa. Easy peasy! Also - we have been told that the entire Camino from Padrón to Santiago is uphill. Not steep but a constant climb. I noticed you broke the spiritual section into separate stages like we did. Hope that works...

    My upcoming planned Camino Portuguese

    Good for you! I don’t understand where you are staying between Padrón and Santiago. We are doing similar - flying into Porto then train to Vigo where we are starting. Our limitations were to keep daily walking to 10-15 km; shorter day after a long or difficult day. Vigo- Redondela -...
