Can't walk the Caminho but I can certainly look at my old photo (yes) albums. First time years ago in Porto needing to refuel when I found Café Santiago not far from the cathedral and their delightful version of francesinha. Came back the next day couldn't remember exactly where it was and I found another Café Santiago where they told me there is even a third Café Santiago not far away! Heartily recommended but come hungry! For the uninitiated wet-cured ham, linguiça, fresh sausage like chipolata, steak or roast meat, and covered with melted cheese with or without a fried egg and a hot and thick spiced tomato and beer sauce :

Where's the vegetarian version?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Where's the vegetarian version?
Believe it or not we had an alleged vegetarian version in a restaurant on the CP. It involved a lot of sauteed mushrooms and I say alleged because I really suspect there was some meat in there somewhere. I was sufficiently hungry that I didn't have an appetite (hehe) to go too far in my analysis! It was delicious by the way but perhaps a "once in a lifetime" experience! And yes, there were fries!

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
