    Avoiding Porto's industrial area on the Camino - starting point recommendations

    What a wealth of information on this forum! I'm ever so much more prepared and packed than I would have been without all of you. Even though I've been training with 10-mile hikes, have purchased a water bottle carrier that enables me to have a drink without taking off my pack, have pared down...

    Help with Camino Portuguese
