    Hiking Poles

    Hi, like many others who have responded, I use my poles (rubber tips) on all my walks for all the reasons stated. I remember one particular day on the Portuguese where we came across a very flat, yet very muddy and slippery section. I'm not sure how we would have traversed it without our poles...

    Did you get tired of wearing same colours for weeks?

    I purchased a very lightweight and coloful scarf for 5 euros on my 1st trip to Portugal. It now goes on every trip with me. I pack black shorts and pants and a couple solid colored shirts (usually blue & reddish colors; long and short sleeve). Add the scarf at night for going out and I have a...

    Staying motivated between Caminos

    I've been looking at this bicycle trail in NZ. I've been wondering if there are towns close enough to walk the entire trail. We love New Zealand.

    UK - For travellers who may need to exit Schengen zone for a short time

    Yes, Croatia became part of the Schengen Zone this January. We were hoping to extend our stay in Europe with a trip to Croatia. We still wish to visit and walk in Croatia. I'd love any suggestions for links to walks in northern Croatia.

    Gibraltar-Lisbon-Porto-Santiago

    I'd be very interested in your route and lodging list between Gibraitar and Lisbon. We have also considered such a walk, but understand the lodging can be difficult to find. Thank you. Bom Caminho

    People with Altra Lone Peak shoes

    My partner and I walked the Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago to Finesterre this spring. We both wore Lone Peak Altras with Injinji toe socks. I think we're both on our 3rd or so version of Lone Peak Altras. Prior to changing to Altras about 6 years ago, I AWLAYS got blisters on my feet. I...

    Camino Portugues 2022. Which Book?

    We.are currently on the Portuguese Caminho from Lisbon. Walking into Vigo today. I asked the same question before we left. Chose to take the Brierley, as I wanted some pictures and a little history of what we're seeing each day. Happy with my choice of guide books. The path is very well marked...

    2022 Portuguese Camino guide books

    Thank you for the reminder about the alternative routes around some of the road walks. I'm not sure if the interactive map on my smart phone shows those. The alternative routes and some condensed information about some of the sites/towns we're strolling through are the two reasons I was...
