    Zubiri or Larrasoana?

    I stayed here in 2021. Loved it because —hosts were awesome, clean, modern, large inside communal area to sit, do laundry, outside covered area for eating, small pool, small yard with grass, two fantastic meals (dinner& breakfast). Off the Camino path about 600 meters but worth the extra steps...

    Switching to central - Mindelo or Vila do Conde?

    Good day. Can you give more specifics on how you got from Mindelo to Vairao? How did you map the route? Directions taken? From Vairao you followed the central route into Rates? Thank you

    Alert Cops - SMS Challenge

    Last week, I got a notice (from somewhere) that app was updated. I opened the app and was finally able to validate and get logged in. Not sure what the problem was, but it took a long time (maybe a year). I have a Greek phone number. so maybe keeping trying!

    Has anyone use Pilbeo for transfers ?

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    thank you for the update & photo. Since Walkway after the bridge is still closed assume you had to backtrack back over the bridge to continue on the Camino path through Alpriate?

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    So based on the report attached by Friend of Barquinha in a nutshell what should we expect? 1. New route not open until 2024? 2. New route open first week in September 2023? 3. If new route is not open, assume we still use the old route through Alpriate (with no albergue open)? thank you.

    Portable Charger

    Yes, I read that one should not use the power stations (like in airports) due to security concerns. I have always plugged directly into a wall outlet.

    Backpack transport on the Portuguese Camino

    I did. What I have found for CP is: pilbeo = Porto to Santiago only tuitrans = Porto to Santiago only caminofacil = Porto to Santiago only topsantiago = I’ve sent two emails and no response to my questions. correos = only in Spain; I used them for CF and they provided excellent service. Maybe...

    Waterproof Jacket

    I have a Mont-Bell Versalite Jacket. A bit spendy $250, but is super lightweight (5.8 oz, 165g). It has zip pits, hood, great breathability (no sweat inside) & at the same time great in keeping the rain out. I think you have to order directly from Mont-bell. Www.Montbell.com I have used it...
