My husband and I are starting tomorrow, Saturday, March 26th from Porto, Portugal.
We are walking slowly and taking a lot longer than many others. We really Hope to meet some of you!
Looks like my husband and I will be starting later than we thought. We're also walking VERY slow with shorter days so you'll probably catch up with us and we may see you at some point! 😀
I walked a section of the camino in France a few years ago. Now, I am going to walk in Portugal from Porto to Santiago. Should I use my original credentials to continue with what I already have or should I obtain a new credential in Portugal?
Thanks!
Thanks for this info! Do you have advice on this same subject for the camino Portuguese in late March/ early April? I usually don't make a reservation if I can help it, but doing so the night before would work if we had to. Thanks!
We have changed our mind based on the information in this thread via jungleboy. We will probably get transportation from Coimbra to Porto and walk from Porto also. ☺️
This is fantastic info and advice! We are not needing to walk continuously, so we will look into your suggestion of walking Santarém-Coimbra and then getting to Porto. Thanks again for taking the time to write this out for me!!

After 5 attempts at booking flights and having them all cancelled over the last 2 years, my husband and I are finally feeling positive about this next one and getting on the Portuguese Camino! I have walked a portion in southern France in 2018 and this will be my husbands first time. Since we...
My husband and I will be starting sometime mid March also. Have not picked an actual start date, but will be in Portugal for 6 weeks. I think we may be starting in Coimbra.
Thank you SO much for all this information! I really appreciate you sharing it! I think it's helpful info for making some decisions we've been on the fence about. I will check with jungleboy with more questions as they come up. Thanks again! Jaime
Hello! My husband and I are planning on walking the Via Algarviana in southern Portugal this February 2022. Has anyone else ever walked this 300 km walk from Spain to the Portugal coast? It has 14 stages (or sectors) with some long days. I would love to know anything any one has to offer about...
