What is it they say about best laid plans?
So far this year I thought I was going to walk in April but other family commitments have ruled this out...
Then I thought I would walk in August... this is uncertain at the moment as I might have to work
I was 100% sure I could walk in the Autumn and 4 weeks on the CP just fell into place for me... flights, family dates, work... it was sorted! But then my husband's dates changed and my plans fell apart like a house of cards.
So today I think I have another plan... please everyone keep your fingers crossed for us! We're going to fly to Lisbon on the 7th October and bus down to Santiago do Cacem. We're going to walk south towards Cabo San Vincente partly following the Historic Way and partly following the Fishermans Way. I've found the website really useful http://en.rotavicentina.com/go.html
These are the stages we've planned and I've manage to book accommodation in all but two of these locations today...
Lisbon - Santiago do Cacem (bus)
Santiago do Cacem - Vale Seco
Vale Seco - Cercal do Alentejo
Cercal do Alentejo - Porto Covo
Porto Covo - Vila Nova de Milfontes
Vila Nova de Milfontes - Almograve
Almograve - Zambujiera do Mar
Zambujiera do Mar - Odeceixe
Odeceixe - Aljezur
Aljezur - Arrifana
Arrifana - Carrapateira
Carrapateira - Vila do Bispo
Vila do Bispo - Cabo de San Vincente
We'll take a bus/taxi to Lagos and spend the night there before taking the bus back to Lisbon for our flight home.
Any feedback, suggestions, amendments or ideas are all very welcome
