  I walk and cycle every year with retiree colleagues…generally always self guided trip. We “get lost” multiple times on every trip. Miss a marked turning, make a wrong assumption on the trail or simply just head off in the wrong direction. For me...

  I am a fan of the Spiritual Variant too. I also think you will get a better pilgrimage experience if you don't chop up your walk. I haven't walked the coast but 10 days walking you could start in Barcelos and include the SV. The boat I took from...
