    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with doubt on the Camino Frances

    Accommodations between Ponte de Lima and Rubiaes

    Wisely App

    I have heard wonderful things about the Wisely app. It is not available in the Apple App Store in the US. (the only wisely apps appear to be weather). Is it something I can only download once in Europe? I’ll be starting in Porto.

    Acclimate First?

    I’m starting off from Porto early on Saturday, October 7 and also going on the Litoral route. I will get in late on the 4th but wanted to have two full days to explore what I hear is a fantastic city and learn a little more about Port wine in the process.
