Hi Helen,
I had initially planned to ride EASY and enjoy the trip. I had planned for a max of 50k per day. I stuck to the first 4 stops of my plan....Ville FDX, Valada, Azinhaga, Tomar. I followed the WisePilgrim route for the most part.
When I learned of the impending storm while at Tomar, my...
I'm from Canada. I traveled to Lisbon, then 2 days later flew to Barcelona. I was advised to get the QR Code, which I received almost instantaneously, about 70 hrs before my arrival Lisbon.
When I got to Barcelona, I searched highland low for the "blue sign"; eventually being guided buy an...
Thanks for that tip, p2000. I will get the stamp during the 3 day stay there. The walk-around Lisbon seems very interesting but unfortunately not for me. My wife has a condition that makes it unable to walk for long stretches, which is also why she goes home while I do the camino on my own.
I am FINALLY on my way to bike from Lisbon.(currently holidaying in Spain before caminoing). Phew! 35deg in Madrid today
I will be starting from Lisbon (with a rental bike) on 6th Sept, approx 9 days to Porto at an easy pace of max 50k per day.
I will be staying at a hotel in downtown Lisbon...
Thanks so much. That's encouraging news. Please keep me informed of your progress, especially if you encounter some terrain which may be TOO challenging for a biker. Bon Camino!
In fact, I will most probably be riding only UP TO Porto, meeting a friend there to WALK the rest of the way to SdC
"But you can test that for me ;-)" ..... sure thing!!
Thanks CB. I will be renting a MTB from bikieiberia.
Ridewithgps have the complete route but it is for the WALK, not the bike path per se. .... https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38030257
When I walked the CF in 2019, there were some sections with horrendous boulders and rocks. I came across...
I am planning to ride from Lisbon, starting approximately Sept 1, 2022. I would rent a bike from Bikeiberia in Lisbon.
I envisage an easy paced 40k per day
Any tips on the best route to follow (I would definitely prefer non-tarmac roads) and accommodation along the way would be much appreciated...
Thanks Kat
I have read many of your posts and also your "inner self" publication. Excellent reading indeed.
My arm is being twisted by a buddy of mine who wants to travel with me but wants to WALK the Camino, so I may just change my mind about biking this session and leave it for a future...
