    First timer - One week to walk the Camino

    Hello, This is such a great idea ! For lack of time (work-wise) I will be walking in July for a week, 16th - 25th July 2022 with 3 high school friends. (That was a loooonnng time ago 🙃 ). It is the first time for all of us on the Camino so I feel it is a pity to start "at the end" of the...

    Hello Dominik, Thank you for sharing this. I am very moved by your post as my brother in law, Nicolas de Rauglaudre, with an amputated leg has walked 4200 kms on the caminos (often on his own) He suppered terrible phantom pains and also bad blistering and sores from his prothesis. I think it...

    Thank you. Yes I have and it says there are no buses nor trains for Ponte de Lima. @Albertinho has confirmed this, alas. So we have to find another solution knowing that we have already booked our return flights and all the accommodation along the way....

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino (Portugues)

    Hello, I was wondering how to get from Porto (where in fly into Portugal) to Ponto de Lima. The latter will be our starting point going towards Santiago. I an't even find a one-way rental car to go to Ponte de Lima. Only to Braga :( Any ideas would be much appreciated.
