    Camino de San Salvador

    I'll be on the Portuguese around this time but next year hoping to do the San Salvador/Primitivo for my 60th birthday. Please let us know how you get on in regards to weather/difficulty etc and good luck finding someone to walk with.

    I have a booking to stay at Casa da Praia and looks a decent place to stay after my first days walk. I'm looking for somewhere to stay around Labruja, in between Ponte de Lima and Rubiaes. Thanks for the input Trecile.

    Labruge's municipal albergue

    I may well be staying here myself. I'm sure I read somewhere this place isn't great. Has anyone stayed here and had issues?

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I enjoyed the Movie. We watched it about this time last year after someone mentioned it on this forum . I already had my plans in place for my first Camino , flights booked etc, for May. My Wife who has little interest in walking or any form of fitness for that matter was totally against me...

    What to do different next time?

    I was a total novice on my one and only Camino thus far so hopefully learnt some lessons. 1) Foot care. Started in Astorga and by Rabanal got blisters. Later that day at Foncebadon my feet were not in great shape.Wrong size shoes and inadequate socks. It happened to be my birthday so had more...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    HI Senora, I'm undecided about this leg myself. My plan is to walk straight through Padron to SdC but this may change. I have only 13 days of walking from Porto so will have at least a couple of rather long days.

    Well hope you knee heals fully for your next trip. I'm just checking out some day hikes too. Sacred mountains and Roque Nublo hikes look great. Think I'm going to do what Bradypus suggested, have a base and go from there daily. I notice you have done many Caminos. My only Camino was in May...

    Thanks Bradyus, that's a good option a series of day hikes. Looking also at what Tour Operators offer. Not sure about the bivvy bag though:)

    Thanks Pelerina for the link. I notice they rate the difficulty 5/5 so will need to get some miles in:).
