    Reserving rooms on the Coastal from Porto. Necessary or not?

    Firstly - a quick mention - your subject heading mentions “Coastal” CP but the only coastal town is La Bruge. The rest are all the Interior CP. Perhaps you could do a test of the accom availability on Booking dot com - especially if you’re wanting 5 beds in mid May. I’d guess that most private...

    Canadians and Portugal update

    Via de la plata walking alone? Is it safe?

    Hi Naima I do hope your Camino went well in 2017. I am thinking of walking Salamanca to SDC alone in March /April 2018. This will be my fifth year on a Camino (previous Portuguese and Frances) and now i am contemplating venturing off the familiar and trying the quieter VdlP. I am 67 with...
