    Ferry transport

    I just showed up. In fact I was first in line at 7:30. The Ferry could hold 6 people. He took those with reservations first. I was lucky to get on because there was a single person holding a reservation 5th in line so I paired up with her. The others with reservations were pretty upset. So...

    Peripheral Neuropathy and walking the Camino

    Fitness Wearables

    I have been using a Garmin Instinct for years when I walk, run, hike and bike. It’s easy to use, accurate and reliable using GPS. Not too cheap but you get what you pay for.

    Santiago to Lisbon

    I have the same need, looked at all three options and chose the plane. I saw this as the most straightforward (only 1 transfer) and convenient...assuming it departs and arrives as scheduled. COVID processes may introduce a wrinkle.

    Algarve Way

    Thanks for the info. From what I have heard both the Algarve and Rota Vicentina would be doable and good choices.
