this route is well marked, i just finished walking it, on december 1. alot of people were biking it, im not sure about the walk over the mountain range after ponte de lima, that was the most rugged climb. i had alot of water, mud etc. the roads are narrow, watch your back, and i stayed at...

yes, very true, the walk from braga to pont de lima is 40km rather then the 33 from barcelos. by the way, ALL alberques are open, most open at 1pm, except in valenca, which opens at 6pm, but the fire station will watch your bags. tui was open, and all the way to santiago!! i think that is great...

greetings all, well because im a budget traveler, the alberques are very important to me when i walk the camino, which i will now do again this november 11th. i thought of primotivo, but the snow would be an obstacle, still thinking of the Ingles....but im leaning toward the francis again...
