[QUOTE="Albertinho, post: 182713, member: 22438"] Ola Catharina. These are some questions ! If you follow the guide of Vialusitania or John Brierley 's it will take you 8 days to arrive in Santiago from Ponte de Lima and remind the first day is the hardest, climbing and decending the Alto de Portela mountain between PdL andRubiaes.if you are not experienced walkers this part you will remember a long time ! Underneath I wrote an alternative for people who do not walk so many kms per day but than the trip lasts longer.So for example my wife and I did it in about 10 days from there.walking no more than about 15 to 20 kms per day. We have no experiences in March but I advise you to read earlier items on this forum and you get all the answers about the weather but nobody owns a crystal ball and can predict the weather that far in the future now but as a help. we walked mainly in May 2013 and every day needed our fleecevests. It was extremely cold that time. There isa lot of discussion about backpacks on this entire forum but a 120 liters backpack ? What are you intending to take with you ??? We had a 50 liter backpack and some thought we were crazy. Please read in on the forum, specially "Equipment " too ! The hostals have blankets and towels. Albuerges haven't allways. We took a sleeping liner with us and if available drew a blanket on top (also for hygienic sake your own liner is better !) Depending on the weather most peregrinos rise early and start early. We stopped for a coffee often in a bakeryshop, had a sandwich for lunch, sometimes a menu do dia and at night a diner somewhere but first we tried to reach our next destination of the day. Ponte de Lima - Rubiaes 18 kms but steep climbing and decending on off road trail so my solution should be as it isa problem to skip this part and see if you will come by bus or taxi in Rubiaes Where is an albergue. After decending after 8 hours walk we took the first hostal Sao Rogue ,3 km from Rubiaes. We were so tired ! It seems the hills at the camino Ingles are even worse. We will see Rubiaes--Valença 19 kms. To Tui + 3 kms. In between no lodging possibility InValença different options In Tui is an albergue Valença/Tui To Porriño 15 kms. Albergue and several hostals Porriño- Redondela 15 kms. Albergue Redondela -Pontevedra 18 kms several hostals. Eventually at 7 kms from Redondela some hostals Pontevedra-Caldas de Reis 23 kms albergues and hotels but at 11 kms albergue nearby San Amaro andat 16 kms albergue in Rotonda Caldas deReis -Padron. 18 kms. At 5 kms near Carrecedo parillada Antonio and at + 5 km hotel Mosteiro Padron -Santiago 25 kms but at 11 kms albergue in Teo of we had a nice casa rural in Casalonga +3 kms casa Cruceiro. Add the few extra albergues you'll findat the website of Vialusitana as being mentioned on this thread by my good friend Diogo and many others on earlier threads like Laurie ( peregrina 2000) I bet you'll get a lot of responses and reactions on your thread . Take note of them all but as I wrote before..read as much as you can on this forum. Unvaluable information for a beginner, even so for more experienced walkers. We still learn every day from all those kind forum members. Bom caminho [/QUOTE]
