    LIVE from the Camino Porto/SdC/Muxia-Fisterra Apri27-May 20

    Day 8 Rubias to Valenca 17ks. First, a big thumbs up to Sonia at Casa Sao Sabastio for her efforts in assisting in getting our gear as dry as possible as well as for all who arrived soaked coming down from the top of the mountain. The washer and dryer worked overtime. Another wet start but with...

    Day 7 Ponte de Lima to Rubias 20ks. Firstly an explanation. My stage distances are calculated from point of accommodation to point of accommodation. In most instances the stages are longer on average than guide books. Next, this stage has been a mixture of the sublime to the atrocious, with the...

    Thanks Peter but very short lived. Out of 2 + 1 in progress Caminos today was the toughest. Climbed the top of a mountain in atrocious conditions. See post a bit later.

    Day 6 Vitorina to Ponte de Lima 14 ks. The forecast was accurate up to our time of departure with heavy rain through the night and early hours. Thankfully it was off the mark for the day with occasional showers and longer periods of finer weather and sunny breaks. We had a pilgrams dinner with...

    Day 5 Barcelinhos to Vitorino 22k. Another wet but colder day being higher up in the mountains. The wet weather will be with us until Tuesday next week after which we enter a dry, warm (mid 20's) period hopefully seeing us through. Not withstanding the inclement weather our Camino is more...

    Day 4 Rates to Barcelhinos 16ks. The constant rain through the night continued for 2 thirds of the days trek and still patchy for the rest of the day. Only 2 rest stops finding shelter at a church at Pedra Furada just to get out of the rain for a bit and a 30min cafe break a short distance...

    Similar conditions to the Porto Central Rates to Bercelhos yesterday but the rain was much heavier with no wind. The photos you got highlight the magic.

    Day 3 Vila do Conde to Sao Pedro de Rates 17 ks. Best day so far. Started out beautiful clear skies with warming sunshine and it only got better. The number of pilgrams crossing over to the central route was more than I presumed. We stopped for a coffee on the outskirts of Conde and in the time...

    Day 2 Aldeia Nova to Vila do Conde 18Ks ( to accom) Greeted by clear sky, no wind and sunshine. There is one of those three that let's the team down regardless of other prevailing conditions: The wind. By late morning it's working up to a an afternoon bluster and will not be sorry to be heading...

    Hi Wazza. Decided on 1st couple of days out of Porto to follow a more scenic section rather than industrial suburbs. Being Aussies we love the coast! Central also supposed to be very colorful in spring. This is our 3rd Camino, 1 part Frances 2018 from Leon and SJPdP - SdC 2022.

    LIVE from the Camino Porto/SdC/Muxia-Fisterra Apri27-May 20

    Day 1 Porto to Aldeia Nova 18K's. The overnight rain greeted us the next morning having us wearing our jackets for the 5min walk to the Cathedral, our official starting point. The persistent 'light showers' soon had us adorned in our ponchos as we made our way along the river not letting up...

    Agree with taking time to soak it all in if time allows. We have reduced our average distance on our Camino Porto starting today to 16ks, with 22.5 the longest and a 10k snuck in for good leisure. Shorter routes allows the luxury.

    What to do during long layover in Dublin?

    Progress they say. I think the main reason for the expansion has been the live music with some top Irish muso's performing. At least the old bars are still there to prop up.

    We arrived in Porto by train from Lisbon yesterday afternoon. Long haul from Australia via Singapore, Milan and Madrid departed April 23. Our first encounter with other pilgrams was when 3 seperate lone first timers saw our Camino patches on our packs on the station platform at Lisbon. Like bees...

    What to do during long layover in Dublin?

    Guinness Storehouse a must. Worth the trip in from the airport back via 'The Brazen Head' pub, old really old.
