    Thoughts/suggestions for flights from NYC to Porto?

    Don’t worry! You have lots of options… My husband and I flew from the west coast to Lisbon. Stayed a few days to acclimate and be tourists, then took the train to Porto to start our Camino. We did take a train from SDC to Porto, and a few southern most coastal cities, before returning to Lisbon...

    Accommodation in Porto

    The Porto Wine Hostel will work then. They also have some lovely Porto wine tasting opportunities. BTW - we also enjoyed listening to a Fado concert not far from the Cathedral. The musicians and vocalists were amazing! 🎶💖

    Accommodation in Porto

    My husband and I stayed in two different lodgings in Porto last April and June. One was the albergue in the Porto train station. It’s called The Passenger Hostel. We took the train from Lisbon and the hostel entrance is INSIDE the station. The location is perfect (near cathedral, food...

    Scam & booking.com

    I got a sneaky message from the “Booking.com” site at 5am today. I remembered an alert from this Camino Forum AFTER I clicked on the link. I luckily didn’t provide the requested info. At 9am I got my alert from the REAL Booking.com site that they had been hacked and to NOT activate the erroneous...

    How many nights should we spend in Pamplona before heading to SJPdP

    My husband and I are flying into BCN and taking the train to Pamplona to sleep and see the city before heading to SJPP by bus (or taxi) to start our Camino Frances. In 2019 I blew through Pamplona. Didn’t see any of it except for a blur in of shops. Question: Should we spend more than two...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    Yes, I was able to find RT tickets that will allow changes. Also, for those who are American Airlines members, rumor has it that they will be allowing ticket changes or cancellations if you’ve purchased basic economy tickets as part of a new program promotion. I just read this in an email an...

    Hiking Poles

    Bruster Great question…. You will NEED trekking poles for the climb up and slide down along the Armenteira. Don’t miss it!! I habitually use my trekking poles. I go faster and save my legs from over use. My husband and I did this trek last May. He was carrying a trekking pole and had to pull it...

    Ride share June 21, 2024 Pamplona to SJPdP

    00jabf You are the second person on the forum to inquire details for the transfer from Pamplona to SJPP. I don’t think we will have any difficulty with this process. And it’s still months away. The bus schedules should be available by June 1st, if not by May 1st. I’m sure all will be revealed...

    Ride share June 21, 2024 Pamplona to SJPdP

    In 2019 I walked the CF and RAN through Pamplona. I didn’t see ANYTHING that time. This time I’m staying 2-3 days in Pamplona before starting our pilgrimage in SJPP. So…. My husband and I will be available early to June 21 to transfer to St Jean. Please note: if I find ALSA buses are...

    Are you planning your (next) camino? Well, I am

    Walked the CP last April-May. Did a mix of Coastal, then Central, then Espiritual. Was amazing! Though walking the CF again in June, I already know I’ll be back to the Portuguese. Not sure when. Gotta take one Camino at a time! 👣🎒💖
