    Safety concerns: First time walking Camino Portuguese as a female traveller

    OMG, Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world one of the reasons I (single, older lady) moved here. I am so surprised that you’ve been hassled like this—but maybe the fact that this fellow is not Portuguese….? There are not so many pilgrims on the coastal route at this time of year...

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I love it, I bought it and have shown it to many people often igniting a sincere interest in walking at least part of the Camino. The best thing for me about having bought the DVD is the alternate audio with Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen and others with stories about the filming, actors and...

    Accept a shell and a wish for a Buen Camino

    Yes, Brian, technically it should be Bom Caminho. But most folks really only react to Buen Camino. Where are you staying on Monday night—that’ll give me an idea of when you’ll be walking through. Hope to see you!

    My first Camino - Portuguese from Porto, May 2023

    Absolutely take the coastal route out of Porto (even senda littoral). Going through Maia, dodging cars and spraining ankles on the cobblestones is not fun!! The only thing I liked about the cobblestones is that you could hear the cars coming!! Enjoy.

    Portuguese Camino from Lisbon

    Ola Charlie; After walking from Porto to Santiago last year, I’m now awaiting my D-7 visa application decision so I can move to PT permanently. I’ve chosen to live along the northern coast in Povoa de Varzim and want to establish some kind of pilgrim’s aid for coastal route pilgrims. Don’t...

    CF Changing the starting location?

    I walked the Le Puy way in 2027 and 2018, 3 weeks each time. In 2018 I did not stop at SJPDP, but continued over the Pyrenees to Pamplona—much easier for me to do it while I was strong from the previous 2 weeks. (In May, it was still cold and rainy.) When I returned in 2019–just carried on...

    Camino Le Puy - Thermal baths in Lectoure

    Maybe... In 2018, when I was in Lectoure finishing up the Le Puy way--everyone was required to have a bathing cap (I had to buy one!). Also HAD to have one when I booked a water spa "experience" in Acebo (on the Camino Frances) in 2019 and again in Ponte de Lima (Caminho Portugues Central) at a...

    Camino Le Puy - Thermal baths in Lectoure

    Stayed an extra day in Lectoure especially for the thermal baths. Got a deal on a “pilgrim’s special” pool, special showers and gammas, plus a wonderful hour massage with especial care of my feet!! Loved it!

    Le Puy route anyone?

    Hello Camino friends! I'm starting my journey from Le Puy to Moissac on April 24, 2017 and I'm a little apprehensive about weather, traveling alone, bugs and the difficulty of the journey. I speak some French and have gotten by well in France before and I've been training in Santa Fe, NM (7100...
