Yes, I kind of dislike planning to a certain extent...but ...because I am a terrible sleeper, AND I have shoulder pain after a busy massage practice season, I have had to play sleeping arrangements and backpack transfers...so that makes it a bit harder to be carefree and whimsical..
It sounds lovely and I am somewhat on a bit of a schedule, because of time constraints, and meeting a friend in Padron. However, always opened to re working the schedule and play....Thanks for your response. :)
I will be arriving in Valenca and have an overnight there, so can visit both Valenca and Tui. Have you done both routes, from Tui and from the Coast? What and why is your preference? Just trying to get an understanding of both and what may work for me and my two kids who are coming with me.

Hi,
I am trying to plan my next Camino. I was thinking of a March 18-20 start date. I would like to do approx 200Km....

Will there be a lot of pilgrims walking during this time of year, along the Camino Portugese?
I feel a little...
