    Sleeping in a dorm room where there's someone with a CPAP

    Definitely use your cpap and if you can get the smaller travel size perfect. I use a cpap and have never had a complaint from my husband regarding any noise from the machine, it is whisper quiet so much better than snoring etc. Anyone who complains of cpap white noise should stay home and take...

    Partial coastal or full inland route?

    The coastal is gorgeous and you could do it all the way to Caminha then go inland.

    Hi Emily Have you decided what camino you are doing and if you are doing it this summer. My husband and I are currently discussing going in July to Porto and doing the same as what I did. Hope to book three weeks and show him the sights and taste the food and drink. Really hoping it works out. 🤞

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    HI I loved my Camino. I was on my own and 66 years young. I pre-cooked all my accommodations before I left Canada just to elevate any added stress. The Atlantic coast is beautiful and the towns along the way so lovely. It was a huge accomplishment and one that will forever be a big memory for...

    15 days on the Camino Portugues

    Start in Porto and walk the river then along the Atlantic. It is fabulous. I did it in May and June 2017. I walked what is called the Senda Litoral and the Coastal route and Litoral sometimes cross each other. The coastal towns are lovely and food is great. There are good guides accessible...

    Hi Sheena I did the Camino on my own and was 66 years young and with the support from my husband who had done the Frances Camino in 2014. I fell the first day leaving Porto ad I approached the riverfront and thought my camino might have been finished. Suffice to say I had to use taxi's from...

    Walking Porto to Santiago and have a few days ahead of that

    Hi Victoria BC. I live in Victoria as well and did the Senda de Litoral last May/June. I flew Lufthansa from Vacouver to Frankfurt Germany then into Porto. Lufthansa was great. I saw a good price posted and went to Flight Centre which did all my arrangements. I booked a year ago at this time of...

    Help needed with the first stages of Camino Portugues

    I did the Senda de Litoral May/June 2017 and loved the journey. Kept my days relatively short plus started early morning as it was hot and humid for the 3 weeks of my camino. The scenery along the Atlantic coast is gorgeous and food and drink wonderful. Buen Camino

    Camino Portugues - Having Second Thoughts

    I walked the Senda de Litoral from Porto to Santiago and although the cobblestones are difficult on the feet the scenery was stunning along the Atlantic coast. I pre booked all my accommodations in hostels or hotels through booking dot com. You may have less options for open bars/restaurants...

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    I loved the Senda de Litoral. The long stretches of Atlantic coastline are spectacular. The communities are lovely and food and drink wonderful. Kelly's instructions maybe the best although I used someone else's and had a few puzzled moments because couldn't make heads or tails of where or what...
