[QUOTE="peregrino_tom, post: 115415, member: 4307"] OK. This thread has taken a slightly pessimistic turn and as the person who started I feel a bit responsible for it. So just to put a bit of balance back... yes - Lisbon to Porto is tough and some of the more delightful trimmings of other caminos are in short supply. But there's an awful lot that's good about it too. And some of the stages are the equal of any in the Iberian pensinsula (that I've experienced so far). You just need to approach it with your eyes wide open, expect a lot of hard work each day and not so much magic (but it will still be there) and have a few strategies up your sleeve if it all starts to get a bit much. These include walking carefully on the roads, having a stick to wave at uppity dogs, finding and using the intermediate accommodation between Brierley stages (listed above on this thread) and maybe even skipping a few roady parts, most notably the last couple of days into Porto. And to aysun I'd say that I don't think that because there are a lot of roads and cars it makes it more dangerous for women. My experience was that the Portuguese people were incredibly kind and between Lisbon and Porto particularly interested in looking after the welfare of any pilgrims that passed their way. regards, tom [/QUOTE]
