    My first Camino - Variante Espiritual from Vigo

    I plan to make the CP on late June but my wish would be to make my wife and kid (10 yo) join at Vigo to complete the final stages. How many days from Vigo did it took to you to get to Santiago following the Variante Espiritual? On Gronze it looks like 5 days are needed, both with or without the...

    Ferry Crossings From Portugal to Spain and also within Portugal

    Yes, I will took that option since leaving Porto on the 18th of June will put me at Caminha on Sunday evening. But I have a friend of mine who, finding the ferry close, made the long detour by foot crossing the river on the first available bridge and she throughtfully enjoyed the trip although...

    Camino Portugues, Coastal route from Porto - Itinerary help

    Thanks so much Iago, I've checked ferries and Baiona-Cies is not operative until 29 of June, unfortunately a couple of days later than when I needed. The only chance is then Vigo-Moana-Pontevedra which still attracts me way better than the classic stop in Vigo/Redondela. I will see on site...

    Dangerous dog between Triacastela and Sarria (2019)

    This dog attack matter really scares me for my "first" next 2020 CP. I was biten once in my youth and last year while training for my (then canceled) camino I got assailed by two unleashed boxers while walking in a wood with my pet. Result: 12 bites most on my legs while trying to defende her...

    Camino Portugues, Coastal route from Porto - Itinerary help

    Hi Iago, I'm planning the Coastal Camino next June and I'd be interested to know more on this alternative route starting from Moana to Pontevedra . Does the ferry from Vigo to Moana run every day? Where is the hostel in the forest located? And what do you suggest after taking the ruta de molinos...

    Class of 2020

    New year, new try. Last June I had to cancel my already booked Senda Litoral due to my father's health conditions although he urged me to start anyway. He passed away on August. He used to travel a lot and I guess he will be very happy to walk spiritually side by side hopefully up to Santiago...

    Coastal route June 2019

    Indeed, I'm fully prepared to any inconvenience hence the 4 days to Finisterre after Santiago could be used instead to slow down the route from Porto to Santiago. Speaking about inconvenience, I could not even imagine a worse start for my first training session: after 30 minutes walk in a wood...

    Coastal route June 2019

    Hi Ajay, I will do the same route starting 8th of June, first experience for me and I'm still in the process of planning stages though the more I read the more I get the feeling that over planning can spoil partially the beauty of the camino. My intention is to walk as much as possible on the...

    Class of 2019

    Flight booked on the 8th of June to Oporto. I'm planning to do my first camino with the Senda Litoral, Variante Espiritual and then to Fisterra, health and blisters permitting. Now this is the plan, I feel excited as 30 years ago when reading the Lonely Planet before leaving to explore Asia. But...
