    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    When I started in Porto I was with a Portugese friend who wanted to meet up for a while so I walked and then took a Train/Metro back into Porto for 2 days in a row. That would mean you could take a Train/transport if you were too tired to walk on to Booked accommodation, However there is no...

Also it has a hood which...

    Solo Female Traveller?

    I've done 6 Caminos as a solo traveller and I've seldom been on my own (I do like walking alone). The Camino is not in the wilderness but in modern European countries. Be aware of Alerts and talk to people in your accommodation about any issues you are worried about. Most of all Enjoy the Wander.

    Where would you start a Camino in a few days, and why?

    Camino Portugues (Littoral) and include the Variante Espiritual. Not sure where you've walked before. I walked the Madrid with a Spaniard and even then it was mostly Spaniards we met. Norte is very popular now and I had a great group to walk with. Portugal is amazing, starting from Porto.

    Is there a detailed guide to walking from Valenca to Fatima?

    It's a few years since I walked to Fatima and the one thing I can remember is at one stage I followed a group of ladies walking in the distance instead of figuring out my own path. I ended up following a Pilgrimage group as stated above, they stayed on the hard shoulder and had support in...
