    Porto, March 23, 2023 - Weather?

    Thanks so much! I've been looking at the forecast on my phone the entire month. just wasn't sure what 16° / 17° "feels like" when you're there. Each region has its own temperature and temperament ... you know? Buen Camino xx

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Portugal Entry for Australians and South Africans

    Morning all. Spoke to Embassy in Windhoek yesterday. Namibians are still not allowed into Portugal. Our tickets are to Porto, but flights have not resumed. Flights to Lisbon have started in October last year, but with very very strict criteria - only essential travel. We were supposed to fly out...

    Vigo to Santiago

    So interesting to read all about your trips! We are leaving for Vigo in 3 weeks time - Would like to find out where we should get passports? Tourist info or rather at the cathedral? Had to wait HOURS at cathedral in Ponferada in 2016 for the priest to have time to help us.... Any ideas? Buen Camino

    A good place to stay in Negreira, or just beyond

    I agree totally! I remember San Jose as a haven of peace and the owner was very kind and helpful!

    5 days of camino

    Wow! I couldn't say it any better! I feel exactly the same. I live thousands of miles away in southern Africa, but my whole being can still relive the feeling I had when I left Santiago d C and set out for Negreira. Ivar, this site keeps my memories alive! Thank you and blessings

    Santiago to Finisterre

    Hi! I walked from Santiago to Finesterre in May 2016 and although the route was much quieter than before Santiago, it really didn't feel secluded at all . Of my entire camino, I enjoyed the accomodation in Negreira the most...such a kind lady and a really nice hostal, just as you come into town...

    Accommodation costs

    Hi all! My question is regarding finances. I'm from Namibia (close to South Africa) and have walked the Camino Frances and Finesterra in 2016 and Camino Real in 2017. I would like to know how the pilgrim accommodation costs in Italy compare to Spain. ..our exchange rate at the moment is N$ 16...

    Why no increase in pilgrims on the VdlP?

    Thanks a lot for the reply! I think I'll face up to the heat...used to African sun. We live in the Namib desert...haha!

    Why no increase in pilgrims on the VdlP?

    Hope this not the wrong place to ask my question...I'm travelling from Namibia in two weeks to walk the Sanabria from Verin/ Laza. Walked the CF in May 2016; which I found very easy and comfortable. Now I'm worried about the heat / difficulty / long stretches that I read about..is this also true...
