Hi everyone, just a quick update from a not so sunny Spain ha ha!!!
Yesterday I walked from A Guarda to Baiona! It was wet but thankfully the wind was behind me & those 2 mountain passes at the very end are a bonus! It was a great walk.
Today I’m making my way to Vigo (15km to go). The...
Hi everyone from super sunny Porto!
It feels like an eternity from when I posted a week ago & I can’t believe I’m in Porto already! Well, Gaia, 4.2km from the Porto cathedral! But after my week I’m saying I’m here ha ha!
I was caught off guard a little, like when I walked into Coimbra as the...
Hi all! I’m so sorry I’m rubbish at keeping updated! I have all the details from where I need to document from.
But… for now… since having the most amazing 36 hours in Tomar & wow! Just how good is the 2300 hostel! They’re where amazing!
I was amazed to meet other pilgrims! And from Tomar I...
Just arrived in super sunny Tomar… I set out at 8am this morning with 24km to do & arrived at 13:45 - Got my stamp already & looking forward to a rest!
I’ll update with details later.
Wow! Thank you so much! I’m in Fatima now and I didn’t expect to feel so emotional. The journey from Obidos has been a strange one with up’s & down! Literally ha ha ! I’m going to continue on to Tomar then take a couple of days rest. Thanks for the info.
Wow!!! It’s been a hot minute since I last posted & I must update on my travel route! But… After spending a couple of days in Peniche & deciding to continue up the coast, fate would have other ideas & I’m just about to walk the last few km in to Fatima! The road from Obidos is a tough but...
Yesterday I took a day off! A whole day of not doing much other than eating & sleeping R&R if you like.
And after walking the 10km into Santa Cruz i find my self camped up at Santa de Porto Novo for the night. There’s a rock here that goes out into the sea and has a statue of a Madonna on...
So the end of day 8 & 1 week on the caminho. About 13km today and Ericeira was a very hipster place & a bit of a surfing Mecca. Very busy with all nationalities & lots of shops! I opted for the Spar which was a little underwhelming for a Spar but they do €1 cheese so fresh cob cheese sandwiches...
Day 7 & checking in! Not much to report as the journey over the last 2 days has not been that historically interesting more rather just continuous magnificent scenery & solitude.
I’ve covered about 30 km to Ericeira, the route being coastal isn’t without it’s challenges with some challenging...
Day 5 and after waking up next to a lake 1 km from the Convent of the Capuchos, it was a gentle stroll to arrive at 10am to check it out. I wasn’t disappointed, I happily paid the 7€ & took to wondering the delights of the maze of a place which it is! You need to see to understand it. Off the...
