    Walking the Camino Portugues as a Woman: Safety Concerns and Advice

    I will also be walking the CP starting in Porto around the 23rd of August. But.......my girlfriend who has never left the states nor did anything for herself will be starting in Lisbon to meet up with me. She has just begun to question the same and I have walked the Portuguese twice, once with...

    terrain of Camino del Norte

    I would also suggest the CP from Porto, starting in Matosinhos. You can walk the coast for a few days and then pull inland. I've done them both and loved each one in their own beauty. Definitely cheaper in Portugal and the people are extremely friendly and luggage transfer is readily...

    Hello everyone.

    You've made the first step, believe and trust all will work out, baby steps will get you there! Take it slow and work up more miles each week. Being nervous and fearful is all part of the excitement in planning, so happy for you. Buen camino

    It Is Normal For Feet and Knees to Become Sore

    Wonderful and helpful info Dave, thanks so much for posting! So true that we tend not to give those body parts much notice, since their always in motion. Another are your hips, also which we don't give much thought, but coming down hill, puts lots of pressure on them. Fractured mine on my...

    Which is better for a first-time Camino experience: Portugués or Frances?

    Hello there, My first camino was the Portuguese central and it was an amazing camino. Though we were short on time, it gave me an opportunity to re-do the following year with my son. We did the coastal and again was amazing. My third was on the CF starting in Burgos, again was awesome, but did...

    Sounds of the Camino

    I would have to say the sound of church bells ringing, welcoming me into the next village to let me know the God was with me on every step!

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Olvidado!

    Thank you @Pruden, something to consider, as I fractured my hip on my second camino (CP) but have since done the CF. I am always up for a challenge, but am realistic first and foremost, I could always try to "recruit" a new pilgrim!

    Discouraged in Florida

    Great explanation, I totally agree, it is your own camino and don't let others tell you any less! Know that you can start and if your not feeling it, you are in a most beautiful place to explore and still meet amazing people

    El Primitivo te espera (the Primitivo is waiting for you)

    What a beautiful video! A question for anyone who can answer. I have walked 2 CP and 1 France from Burgos. I am physically fit/active, but unfortunately fractured my hip on my second Portuguese and recouped for 5 months. Was scheduled to walk another Portuguese, but watching this video has me...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Reimbursements from travel co.

    I haven't lost anything, so am happy about that, only hope I can get there same time next year! Hopefully other pilgrim's will be afraid of the crowds, since it will be a Holy Year, and it won't be so bad. I'm just blessed to be able to have the opportunity to walk another camino, whenever...
