Hi,
Require advice to reach Coimbra from Ansiao. It's around 50km in distance and I can't locate a local bus line from Ansiao which is a reasonable size town.
Any comments would be helpful. G
Staying in Porto April 15 at Hotel Peninsular. April 16 Vila do Conde. I’m only walking to the boarder then back to Lisbon 24th for Freedom Day Celebrations. It’s the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. Definitely catch up for a beer or coffee. I’ll be on email during my time overseas.
Hi,
2016 I walked the Portuguese Camino, in April 2024 I'm taking the coastal route from Porto to Labruge. The following day I wish to hook up with the central route and stay in Vilarinho. What's the best path from the coast to go inland?
We’ve seen the worse of the cold front. By the time you commence it will be perfect walking conditions. However nights are still cold but most places will give you an extra blanket.
All ok Pilgrim’s, I have a sense of humour. I’ve trekked in the Indian Himalayas mid winter and camped in a tent . Yep know all about a good snow fall.
Thanks for that. The Camino throws up so many unexpected challenges and it’s so important to be prepared for all situations. I packed waterproof gloves, woollen beanie and extra socks just in case I experienced cold weather. This preplanning certainly has come in handy. I’ve walked four Caminos...
I know it’s only light flaky snow but it broke up that tiring walk into Burgos. Coming from subtropical Brisbane seeing snow is rather exciting. Rest day in Burgos before I continue to Leon.
Leaving Brisbane this afternoon for Pamplona to commence a 21 day trek to Leon. Apart from replenishing my inner soul with the spiritual joy of a Camino, I’ve also raised my quota of $2,000 for my charity Orange Sky Australia. ( so I’m not after any more donations)
I’ve located my Camino...
Sometimes an old post is still relevant and helpful for an old Pilgrim. I’m returning to the Camino after an absence of 8 years and with only three weeks availability I’m planning on walking my favourite sections. Yes why do I need to miss an entire day travelling and starting in SJDP. Australia...
In April I’m returning to SJDP for a short trek to Burgos which is around 10 + days. Having completed the French way, Portuguese and first section of Le Puy to Conques , I’ll have another 10 days before SJDP or after Burgos to trek.
Q. Spend a week on another section of Le Puy and if so which...
I must admit the thought of arriving in Paris and flying to Biarritz never occurred to me. My first Camino was 2014 and I travelled by various trains Paris to SJDP.
Late March this year I’m contemplating on a reduced Camino 21 day trek and I’ll investigate your advise in reaching SJDP from Biarritz.
Problem solved. I’m flashing back to the 70s when nothing was planned except a starting location and let the universe direct you. Travel to SJDP in France and spend the first night in a hostel. The rest will then unfold.
I would love to have your problems of cancelled accommodation on the Camino. Living in Australia we are unable to leave the country and overseas travel to a European destination may be another six months away. Yes I’ve been vaccinated, however our Government is playing it overly safe and keeping...
