Hello, I am looking for information on a camino in central Portugal passing by Viseu, Lamego, Chaves that meet up camino de la Plata in Galicia. Is there such a route open for pilgrims? Is there a guide? (french or english if possible)?
Thank you
JPierre

Yes, that is the Portuguese Inland Camino (Caminho Português do Interior).
From what I'e heard from other pilgrims, it has longer stages in nature with many kilometers without passing any village. It is alos not as popular as the central or coastal routes. You're less likely to see other people.
This has some info on the recommended stages and albergues.
I believe there is more off-road that in the other routes, also more up-hill and down-hill. It looks a demanding but beautiful camino.

The great problem is de 2.º day, there are villages but you need cross five mountains. But the caminho is amazing.
At the moment the first Brazilian are you doing de CPI.

Sound nice!
Thanks!
 
Thanks for the info. It does seem like a brilliant Camino and is on my list to do.
 
The route continues from Chaves into Spain and Verin, where you have the option of joining the Southern variant of the Camino Sanabres (VdlP) through Sandias and Allariz to Ourense or carrying on north on a link path to Laza to join the Northern variant of the Camino Sanabres (VdlP) and then on to Ourense.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Thanks for the info. It does seem like a brilliant Camino and is on my list to do.

After my Brazilian friend finish the CPI, it usually publishes the different stages and makes the comments, to the good and bad moments.
With your permission I will try to translate the caminho to English (I apologize but my English is not very good) I will provide the link to the forum.
 
Hi J Pierre, I’m so glad you posted this query. Last year I waked the Portuguese variant of the VdlP from Zamora to Verin (via Braganca in Portugal) and loved the solitude.
I am also interested in doing the route you have suggested as part of my next camino.
Last year I (personally) had a lot of difficulty communicting with people in the smaller villages as, although I speak passable Spanish, I was not able to understand their rapid-fire Portuguese ;). I’d take some basic Portuguese lessons before embarking on a ‘less-travelled’ camino in Portugal again.

There seems to be some info in Portuguese but limited resources in English. This site seems quite good and can be translated into English - http://www.cpisantiago.pt

Cheers, Grace

That would be so nice and helpful. Thank you so much!
And for sure don't worry about the not so good english, any translation would be a great help.
Ciao,
JPierre
