    Is a Guide book needed for Porto to Santiago?

    Hi. You don’t need a book, the yellow arrows are literally every corner. I also used Mapy.cz which is brilliant and already has the Camino on it as I just cba with kml files on Google! I did the same thing starting at the coast in Porto then crossing over the central and there seem to be two...

    Travelling from Porto airport to a different start point (Ponte de Lima)

    Download mapy.cz and you will see that the Camino goes right past the airport - start there if you are not wanting to start at porto cathedral. I found rome2rio very good for the most part but sometimes it kept reverting to car shares. Don’t over plan it is my advice - situations or other...

    pilgrim made it to Santiago?

    Hi, is there a way to find out if a pilgrim made it to Santiago? I am a little concerned for the welfare of a lone female pilgrim that I met on the Portuguese last week. I’m sure she is ok, but I have a 22 year old daughter too so I guess I’m just naturally worried! I have not heard from her...

    Feedback on packing would be (really) appreciated.

    Watching this thread as I start the Portuguese next week 😱 and still unsure about coat vs rain jacket vs poncho! Don’t want to be cold, but don’t want to over pack either 🤣 lots on this forum about useful items like an S hook to hang things whilst in the shower. Buen Camino!

    Trekking poles

    Hi! I’m new too, and had presumed no poles as carry on. This got me thinking in these times of environmental issues (let’s skip the bit about everyone flying to and from the Camino) there must be an abundance of discarded poles in Santiago, which people in SJDP or Sarria could perhaps reuse...
