    How many days from Lisbon to Santiago?

    I walked the route from Lisbon to Porto to Santiago mid April to mid May this year (2023). The official distance on the Compostella is now 634km with some of the route changes. I did 26 days of walking. The only break I took was 4 days in and around Porto. It gave me a good chance to rest...

    Any updates on the new camino route out of Lisbon?

    I’m not exactly sure where the “new” route breaks off outside of Lisbon. On April 19th, 2023 I did take a newer route out of Lisbon which takes you inland. Most people who left around me took the old route along the river and next to an industrial park(s). I’ve attached below where I walked...

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    I bought a 3 pack of these on Amazon a couple years ago. They work well. I will take on with me on Portuguese Camino next week. $22 for three.

    Walking in warm weather when not used to it.

    I have been doing my "training" here in Florida and have already hiked a number of 85-90 degree F days. I was hoping leaving Lisbon on the Portuguese Camino would be a nice break for me as they typically say late April is mid 70s during the day. I'm seeing just outside of Lisbon I may see a 90...

    Camino portuguese

    I’m doing something like that. I arrive in Lisboa on the 17th of April and plan to start walking on the 19th. I’m staying in the Lisboa Orienta area for the two nights which shortens my first day walk to around 24km. I’m staying in Vila Franca de Xira on the 20th. On my day in Lisboa (the 18th)...

    My First Hiking Shoe question

    This is all good conversation and many solid opinions! I walked from Leon to Santiago back in 2014. I'm getting ready in April to walk from Lisbon to Porto to Santiago for my second Camino. Back in 2014 I wore Merrell ankle high boots which were exactly my size at 10...they did not work, I...

    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    Somebody else recommended IMG insurance to me and they are in the international travel business. They seem to have competitive rates to Allianz. I have not used but probably will when I head out to do the Portuguese Camino this April. I see someone else has also recommended. I provided a...

    Igreja de Santiago offer stamp ?

    Thanks for this! I’m much in agreement with you. I’m staying in Northeast Lisbon so May visit both cathedrals (or at least see the front doors) while playing tourist for a day in Lisbon.

    Igreja de Santiago offer stamp ?

    Interesting...I had not even researched. I'm arriving into Lisbon on April 17th. I had planned to spend the day around Lisbon on the 18th, visit Igreja de Santiago, and take off walking the morning of the 19th to Santiago. It sounds like I may need to find a different place to get the first...

    Albergue Alpriate closed permanently

    I plan on leaving out of Lisbon around April 19th. Are there any details and recommendations about routes and updates to the routes? I see the first leg is roughly 30km. I booked a place just slightly north of where they suggest staying at a fire station. I prefer places other than fire...

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    I did the walk in May from Leon in 2014 and only used a liner. You will be going over some higher elevations but I had no issues.
