    I agree with you 8 days in Porto is about 4 too many. This despite the fact that I have been there 3 times and love the city. The problem is that if you were to fly into Madrid in order to spend 3-4 days there before heading to Porto, you are...

    @peregrina2000 : Easy. www.enforex.com 4-5 hours/day, depending on your wish, Monday-Friday. Intensive and very educational. Professional and friendly. I can now survive in Spain and even have fun with the locals, in Spanish. :D I took a 4-week...

    TMcA replied to the thread How the Via Francigena is Different from the Camino de Santiago.
