    Casa da Fernanda- Lugar de Corgo

    I just recently got home from my camino starting in Porto. On the advice of veterans like Albertinho, I changed my plans to walk the Coastal, and did one stage from Porto to Vila do Conde, then at the next stage turned inland, only to have the opportunity to stay with Fernanda and Jacinto. I...

    Hi There! I will be starting on Monday 31 Aug from Porto. I will walk only the first leg of the coastal to Vila do Conde, then swing in to the Interior route the rest of the way. I'm already nervous. I hope to see you Aine!

    Portuguese Passport?

    So, the Cathedral in Porto does not have Credentials?? I was also planning to pick one up there. Oh dear...I just assumed. @Albertinho: do you know if I can pick one up here in Holland? Can I just ask at a Catholic Church?

    Learning Portuguese: Helpful Phrases?

    Thanks Kiwi-family! Since I will be walking the Portuguese section by myself, I would like a little bit of Portuguese so I'm not 100% clueless about what's going on around me. All of the Portuguese people I know speak English, but I figure simple phrases like "Excuse me", or " Good morning" will...

    Apprehensive now with a tinge of "uh oh"

    I am also feeling some pressure! I bought my walking shoes last night. I will test them this weekend.

    Learning Portuguese: Helpful Phrases?

    Bless - that's a good start Mike Savage! Also if you don't know the Portugues, no worries - just the English is good! - e.g, " I am lost, can you help me find the way back to the path to X-town?"

    Hi All, I am going to take a crash course in Portuguese. I will find some resources online, and I will bribe my Brazilian colleague with beer to see if he can help me brush up on some words and phrases. I have a basic start - hello, thank you , please, counting, my name is, left , right...
