    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    I could see the river at all times, and also the shipping containers across the other side. That boardwalk rises up when crossing tributary streams so at times is quite high. Today heading up to Vila Franca de Xira the reeds were tall and blocking the view both ways. Perhaps that's what.you...

    Thanks for your interest dougfitz. I knew someone would ask about this! For mangrove please read, "plant that grows in tidal mud."

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    This morning I've walked out of Lisbon towards Fatima, and I used the new boardwalk path from Sacavem, along the river. It's 6km from Sacavem up to its end, where the Camino onward is signposted. It's been open two weeks and is pretty busy. Cyclists, runners, walkers and pilgrims all out...

    New Albergue in Igualada Under Way

    The Ignatian Camino recreates the 1522 pilgrimage of St Ignatius Loyola from Loyola to Manresa in Catalonia. I suppose this new build is anticipating a large number of pilgrims on the 500th anniversary of the event. I walked through Igualada in 2013, heading to Santiago. A great town, first...

    St Olav's way from home.

    Hi AlwynWellington Another NZer here! I walked from Sundsvall to Trondheim in Septemer 2018. The waymarking across the entire way is superb, easily the equal of anything on the Camino. Yes, there are many pilgrim paths intersecting once over the border into Norway, but you will have no...

    Tabara short cut

    So in the end I did walk the Tabara short cut. I gained a day and saved some mileage, and this meant I was able to shorten some longer/trickier stages around A Gudina - Campobecerros - Albergueria - Laza. I walked it on a Sunday, so the traffic may not have been as great as a weekday. I...

    Tabara short cut

    Thanks to those who replied. I'll make the final decision out on the camino in October, but I can't see myself walking the Tabara short cut. Love your work magwood!

    Tabara short cut

    I'm looking to c0mplete the VdlP from Salamanca starting October 2/3. I wonder if anyone can share news, views, the latest intelligence, on the Tabara shortcut north of Montamarta? I'm in no hurry to get to Santiago, am not worried by a bit of road walking.
