    hokiebobwise replied to the thread Cold nights in summer?.
    I'd bring something warm. From Astorga ro SdC we experienced many chilly night in July 2023. The air temp was comfy, but there was wind and that seemed to bring the temp down much more. Out of O Cebreiro I though my hands were going to get...

    Somewhere after Vilei, I was coming around a corner, exhausted and hungry. I saw a table full of fruit, meats and cheeses. The bread was already sliced open. I greeted the 3 people with an Hola and started to ask how much for a sandwich when...

    Your route looks similar to the one we have planned starting on May 22 from Porto. We staged it with 12 days instead of 15, averaging 13 miles/day (20.9 Km/day). We used the Camino Ninja App to plan the route and Booking.com to find lodging...

    Yes, the goal is to take an early bus and then walk to Balugaes. I agree, 39km is crazy. last summer our longest day was ~34 and it just about killed my feet. I'm thinking maybe alter the stops between Fontoura and Vilanova so that I shrink...

    I've set an intention to go on another pilgrimage in 2025. With only so many days I can take, I've put together a draft plan for the Camino Portuguese starting from Porto. I am a huge fan of port wine and do intend for my first 2 full days to...
