    Cheese

    The Mercado for cheeses, if traveling to the USA you are not allowed to bring in meat products or fruit. They will be confiscated, cheese is ok.

    Coastal or Central

    I think going from Porto on either route you chose you may need a few more days. Unless you skip some areas or plan doing around 30-35km per day.

    JUNE 2023 northern : San Sebastián to Bilbao

    I am planning that same route but I'd go early late March early April. I know there won't be many folks out there. Kinda lonely but I like it that way and I know there will be others. I did from Aviles to Santiago in March 2019 and it was nice only one cold rainy day.

    Walking solo and not wanting to get lost!

    You won’t get lost on central route. Even if you do you’ll get back on track without a major delay. I got lost once at the end but a jogger came by and put us right back on it. We actually were on the original route from years ago he told us but it had been changed to what it is today.

    Best way out of Porto for the central route

    Lynne, Take the 500 bus from the stop next to the Catheral in Porto to Masintos To avoid traffic. Then start your walk along the coast to Vila do Condo. After that head to Barcellos and follow that route all the way to the border at Tui. Bierly has a good guide that lays it out along with the...

    LIVE from the Camino @JohnLloyd on the Inglés

    John, I must say your journey pretty much parallels mine which started on Feb. 25th. I got started around 2:15PM walking out of town. It took me an hour to fine the starting point. I walked to Nedra only to find the albergue closed then walked back to the same Hotel Kensington for the night...

    Bus from Madrid to Ponferrada

    Maybe try getting to Monte de Lemos by train and bus from there. I think there are other possibilities by train that get you close.

    Walking poles on flight

    Well as a frugal pilgrim I have always preferred a walking stick I found along the way. I have seen many elderly Spanish residents walking along with them so I gave it a try. Works for me and I avoid airline hassles.

    February Camino

    No there will be others but some of the albergues may be closed. It’s a good time to go not crowded and it may be cool but ok. I usually go in early March and enjoy it. I’d allow 45 days which is about 20km per day or 12 miles. Take more time if you want to do less miles/day. My last Camino was...
