Three questions, y'all:
1. I'm planning on hiking the Portuguese route (+/- 2 weeks) in late-June. Should I be posting on threads specific to that trail?
2. Am I naive in thinking I might do this in my tennies (with a daypack)? It's "only" two weeks, after all.
3. Am I asking for disparaging...
Hello All:
Am going to do my first pilgrimage mid-June and planning on the Portuguese route. Does anyone know about the quality and availability of tap/fountain water on that trail?
Thanks so much!
Thanks, Periperi, for your comments, which helped calm me, a likewise-not-particularly-attractive woman (who happens to be in her early 50s).
I have wanted to do the walk since I first learned of it 20 years ago, finally have a chance to do so this year and have been planning on the Portuguese...
Yikes. I am about to tackle my first--and likely only--walk, and I am more and more convinced I should take the Portuguese route to avoid, as much as possible, such crowds and craziness. (Am I getting too old [53] and crabby for any albergue?)
