30 km Days
Relax! I'm not so fit and my job is sedentarian and I had something like 6-8km/day before I went on Camino. But I had no problems doing 32km+ per day. You're going to walk 6 hours+ per day, so you should manage your energy. From my experience the first 3 or 4 days are the hardest.- Bogdan

Do you need a sleeping bag or just a sleeping sheet on the way from Lisbon?
At least from Porto you can expect to see yellow arrows at less than 500m apart. I think that the way is pretty well marked, with one or two exceptions (I had some trouble finding the way only from Mos to Arcade and the split before the Santiago when you have two arrows showing the opposite...- Bogdan

In Spain you should have something like a dictionary, but most of the people understand English (and if they say they don't it's just because they don't want to speak). In the albergues I was English was OK, in the bars I could...- Bogdan

Camino is a no go
Martin, I'm sorry for your health problems. But the Francais Camino is (from what I've heard from those guys who were on that trip) a hard trip. Plus, given the time of the year you wanted to go, you needed to drink a lot of liquids, so your kidneys had to endure a lot of pressure. You're lucky...- Bogdan

Quinta da Portela Facha
I (in fact we) stayed at Han's place last month. It was the best accommodation I had over the whole road from Porto to Santiago! And, given that we had two meals included, the price was fair. Han is a nice guy, very proud of his house (and he should be!), good cook, good guest, and the place is...- Bogdan
