    We walked it in June/July, took the coastal walk then moved inland after day 3 It was a lot warmer inland, no sea breeze. Glorious weather even if a bit hot on a few days. Mostly lovely temps. Loved Portugal.

    [QUOTE="Mary_Atherton, post:. I don't know if it's an age thing or not, but I seem to stress about things that never bothered me a few years ago. Funny you should say that, I mentioned something similar in my Hot and Cold post. Mid 40's I seem to have become overly anxious...
