[QUOTE="Suzanne H, post: 1068771, member: 66998"] There’s a lot of responses about the Portuguese routes here. As someone dealing with foot/ankle issues on the Portuguese Camino (and now being a tourist because of them) I’ll say that the Portuguese route south of Porto isn’t fully flexible and may not be offering the support you’re looking for. I’ve been in Povoa and Viana as a tourist the last few days (as a tourist) and there are a lot of pilgrims traipsing thru right now. Seemingly a lot more than my last Portuguese route here at this same time 3 years ago. I think you may need to consider later or earlier in the year from Porto, or definitely consider the LePuy route, (or other French routes?) Sometimes these issues offer us new options —such as, there were a few days when I walked 10k a day. Baggage carriage wasn’t an option (south of Porto) but shortening my day was an alternative. I’ll be contacting my docs and physios upon return. I hope your issues get worked out, too. Short caminos that require very little gear might work better, keeping your pack light. Baggage carriage isn’t such a bad alternative either. It’s just part of the journey. It’s a tough position to be in, but keep your chin up and your options open. I’m certain you’ll find your answer.
