I too am going to be bold and suggest my own book “Walk Together and Take Care of One Another”, available on Amazon.com. It has been read by several book clubs and I spent a couple of hours answering questions from the readers at a couple of them. They were always so intrigued!

Is this near Bar Deportivo? THAT was the best meal we had on our Camino in 2015. I am hoping Bar Deportivo is still open as it was absolutely fabulous.
We had a wonderful stay at Hostal Suso. It was perfectly located and relatively inexpensive comparatively speaking. Extremely clean, with a helpful staff.
We just finished the Portuguese in late October and found the route to be pretty difficult. As elders, we wanted to avoid bunk beds and needed to use the bathroom frequently, so we would look for private rooms. There are not the options available on the Portuguese as they were on the French. The...

One thing to add about clothing for warm weather: we didn’t take much for the cold, but we had our rain pants and jackets and we just put those on in the morning when it was frigid. We warmed up quite nicely by mid-morning. We did buy a stocking cap and gloves which helped for the nether...
We used By The Way Tours. It was a wonderful experience as the guide was such a pleasant person and told us much more about the area than we would have gleaned from books or brochures. We had a fabulous lunch in a tiny restaurant with a lovely bottle of wine, and we didn’t have to drive...
We are planning on walking in late September from Lisbon to Santiago but as with our previous Camino (Frances) we want to ship a small carry-on size case on to Santiago for ’apres Camino’ clothes. Are there such services from Lisbon?
