A reminder of the Portugués

[JohnLloyd]

In the absence of actually being able to walk the Camino any time soon, I’m going to remind myself of the places I’ve already been, and to be thankful for those journeys and to celebrate them.

I’ve knocked this up in iMovie this afternoon.

I reckon you could all do something similar too.

Have a go.

[CarolamS]

Thank you @JohnLloyd it brought back very precious memories of my first Camino. October 2018 and it was so HOT! I now really want to walk it again.

 

[Airfix]

Thanks John, we cancelled our Portuguese Camino this year, was due to start April. This is next best thing.

 

[Steve900Hiker]

Thank you JohnLloyd. Your video brought back many wonderful memories.

 

[Paul Krebs]

Thank you. This was a great start to my morning.

I have 225 photos of my April Portugués in a Dropbox folder. You're welcome to see all of them if you want!

Thanks for the movie - thoroughly enjoyed watching it - I had planned to walk from Lisbon to Porto in April - but......still time to plan again.

 

[AndreaCT]

Thank you John! I loved watching this. I managed to lose all of my Portuguese Camino pictures, except for the ones that I sent to my husband. It is a beautiful walk and I think I'll do it again one day and actually save my next round of pictures.

From the friends I found on the Porto to SdC stretch of the Portugués who had walked from the capital, there was very little good said about the Lisbon to Porto segment.

I'd ask for more opinions on that, but it's worth keeping in mind when you plan.

See above! If you want to trawl your way through all 225 of the pics I took and select the ones that mirror the ones that you lost, you're welcome to do so.

Portuguese Custard Tarts (Pasteis de Nata)

These pasteis de nata, with their signature flaky crust and sweet custard filling, are so utterly delicious — you might want to make a double batch!

Best ever...well, short of going back to Porto for some port! Good thing I have some in my stores!

[David with new Kit!]

The pictures are well taken and very well stitched together. I think the music was a good choice too. I hadn't given the CP much thought, but its definitely got my attention for the future.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you for sharing with us.

If you start in Porto- it is one of the most beautiful places to stay...try the tarts and the many port houses!
We took the bus back for a couple of days to explore Porto after we reached Santiago. Only a 3 hr bus ride!

After my Francés, I journeyed to San Sebastián to meet friends for a stag weekend.

It took just ten hours for a train to whisk me back to a point in Spain not far from my start in SJPDP five weeks earlier.

That was weird.

Thanks John, it has been a while since I used Dropbox. But send me the link and I'll try.

I've walked the Cami o Portugues twice. The second time I walked the Varient Espiritual.
Your movie was well done and brought back many lovely memories.

In the spirit of sharing a little memory of past Camino's here is a shot from the coastal route in Portugal from last Sep.

Thank you John Lloyd,I watched with tears in my eyes. My husband and I were due to fly to Porto tomorrow, and because of this horrible virus that is impacting the world, we had to cancel. We walked the Coastal Portugues last year and fell in love with the Camino. Hopefully, we will walk it again when all this is over.

Hi John, got a chance to download and save photos today. Will have an evening looking through this week. Noticed you were in Santiago on 9th May and we arrived on 10th May...could have rubbed shoulders!.
We walked from Sarria that time, a bit of a reccy before wife walked from SJPP in September. The Portuguese route looks great, we have already planned for next April. Thanks again.

Funny this morning my phone compiled some April memories from two years ago and I saw a happy me walking the litoral. You first picture with the boardwalks some me right back in time and I saw a happy me there .So you just reminded me of better days and thank you.

 

[Saint Mike II]

Hola John - thanks very much, now you have me all psyched up again - ready to go. Provided the Covid19 and my body hold up. Fingers crossed and small prayer or two said for Sept 2020.
