I had some extra clothes, 3 tops, 2pairs of socks. And an extra dry bag. Nothing too much but it made a difference sending it back. I did bring a sleeping bag. I'm glad I did. All the albergues have provided light blankets, but even with the sleeping bag and the blanket sometimes it was still a...
Hello everyone,
I am currently on the Portugese Camino in Coimbra.
Before I left j was trying to figure out postage and I've just done it so i said I'd help out by sharing my experience.
I posted 800g from Coimbra Portugal to Ireland. Within the EU.
The box cost €1.20. They have a selection of...
Thanks Vacajoe I think the lesson the camino is teaching me before I even start is to let go of perfectionism. I can't get this perfect. I've brought a sleeping bag, I'll find out if it was the right or wrong decision soon enough. Either way I will learn from it. That's how we find things out in...
Hi all,
The sleeping bag question.
I have gotten so many different views on this.
I start the Camino Portugese in April in Tomar and Walk to Santiago.
Should I bring a sleeping bag?
I plan to stay in Albergues.
Thanks in advance,
Brid
Thanks Tim that's great to hear. Did you walk the coastal or central?
Did you book albergues in advance or arrive and find a bed?
Id like the option of getting them as I walk, at least that way if I'm tired I can stop when I need to.
Very excited after hearing about all the good weather!
Thanks
Thanks for this info.
If I stay in Eposende and walk to Casa da Fernanda will this work? Is it easy to find the route from Casa da Fernanda?
After Casa da Fernanda where did you walk?
I am thinking to Rubiaes.
Thanks
Hi DankeL,
I'm in Ireland.
In the EU your completed primary series Vaccination Cert expires after 270days.
Eg 2 doses of Pfizer.
1 dose of Jansen.
If you have a Booster there is no expiry to the Vaccination certificate.
Also note that the vaccine series must be complete at LEAST 14days...
Hi all,
I'm doing my first Camino this year.
Starting mid April.
From Porto to Santiago.
I'm going to do part coastal and part inland.
I really want to see Ponte de Lima, Vigo & Tui so I'll do a route that works that.
I'm going to wear trail runners.
Will I need thick or light socks?
I've had a...
Hey Robin, I don't have experience with either but I was in An Outdoor Store in Ireland called Cotswolds yesterday looking at them so I can tell you what the sales rep told me.
1. The Tallon in the Male version, Tempest is the Female.
2. The Tallon doesn't have much breathability in the back and...
