Is there a passport to get stamped like the Camino? Also, I’d like to end my trek at the heritage center. Do you recommend a route to take? Was trying to do a 10 day trek if possible.
Thanks for your response. If I may ask a couple questions since you did the Kumano. Is there a specific endpoint like the Camino. Somewhere to end and get a certificate? Also, I’ll have about 10-14 days to walk. Do you have a recommendation for the best route? I’d love to see as many temples...
Hello friends!
Been awhile since I’ve been on here. My question is…I am wondering if there is a helpful message board for the Kumano Kodo similar to this board? Im wanting to do that trek when Japan opens back up and this community was so helpful with my Camino I was wishing there was one for...
Hello
The waymarks in Spain were very clear and easy to follow. I did take a couple alternative routes and they were all marked and easy to follow as well. Good luck and Buen Camino!!

The food and drinks are greatness. While in northern Portugal make sure you try the Vinho Verde wine. Its refreshing after a long walk. I found that most locals in Galacia drink beer. My fav over Estrella was the 1906 Especial.
Very correct about the bread and olives they are a couple...
Awesome! Not sure what the weather will be like in Oct but My 5 tips are:
1: Keep hydrated
2: Don't think of it as a race, plan enough days to sight see without feeling hurried to get to your next stop
3: wear a hat to shield from the sun
4: protect your feet, I used a brand of sock recommended...
I Just finished my first Camino from Porto to Santiago! I want to thank anyone who gave me advice on here! Everything helped. I did the coastal route up until Vila do Conde then went inland to join the Central route and it was amazing!! Id be happy to offer any help or tips to anyone who'd...
