[QUOTE="pilgrimyogi, post: 184473, member: 12417"] Hi Stripey Socks, I walked the Camino Portugues alone in April 2012 (from Oporto) after doing the Camino Frances in October 2011 in a group. It was a wonderful experience and I am glad I walked solo. As a lone female I felt very safe in general. The Portuguese people were very friendly and helpful. Several went out of their way to help me over the course of my 10-day journey. On the stage between Ponte De Lima and Rubiaes (#17 in Brierley), there is a rock-strewn climb where you should take care. Don't know if you use walking sticks but they are highly advisable for negotiating this bit, and also for use as a guard as you walk on the roads over the first few days out of Porto (there are high walls, nonexistent shoulders, and blind corners aplenty). The pilgrim hostels were in general uncrowded and nice facilities. I also stayed at private hostels on some nights and have happy memories of my stay at Casa Fernanda in Logar do Corgo (stage #16 in Brierley), run by a very lovely family, Fernanda and Jacinto Gomez Rodriguez. I can also highly recommend as a splurge the hotel Quinta da Franquiera in Arcos (stage #15 in Brierley, before Sao Pedro De Rates). I wish you Bom Caminho!!!! [/QUOTE]
