    Camino Portugues - September 2021

    One thing I forgot to mention, bring some gum or mints especially when when flying. Between waiting at the airport, flying and then getting out of the airport at the end, wearing a mask for that long got really rank😑

    Camino Portugues - September 2021

    We wear our masks anywhere indoors but not while walking although there were a few times in Porto that we felt the crowd was too large so we put our masks on. Right now we are staying at the BWay Guest House in Barcelos, very nice set up a little pricey but I think worth it.

    La Vuelta - arrives in Santiago de Compostela

    We did Norte in 2019 started Sept 5. We had a bit of rain the first few days but after that the weather was good until the last week. Obviously every year is different but the Norte route was spectacular even in the rain. Just bring rain gear and enjoy.
