    LIVE from the Camino Sunny Lisbon

    Hi everyone, just a quick update from a not so sunny Spain ha ha!!! Yesterday I walked from A Guarda to Baiona! It was wet but thankfully the wind was behind me & those 2 mountain passes at the very end are a bonus! It was a great walk. Today I’m making my way to Vigo (15km to go). The...

    Hi everyone from super sunny Porto! It feels like an eternity from when I posted a week ago & I can’t believe I’m in Porto already! Well, Gaia, 4.2km from the Porto cathedral! But after my week I’m saying I’m here ha ha! I was caught off guard a little, like when I walked into Coimbra as the...

    Hi all! I’m so sorry I’m rubbish at keeping updated! I have all the details from where I need to document from. But… for now… since having the most amazing 36 hours in Tomar & wow! Just how good is the 2300 hostel! They’re where amazing! I was amazed to meet other pilgrims! And from Tomar I...

    LIVE from the Camino Sunny Lisbon

    Wow! Thank you so much! I’m in Fatima now and I didn’t expect to feel so emotional. The journey from Obidos has been a strange one with up’s & down! Literally ha ha ! I’m going to continue on to Tomar then take a couple of days rest. Thanks for the info.

    LIVE from the Camino Sunny Lisbon

    Wow!!! It’s been a hot minute since I last posted & I must update on my travel route! But… After spending a couple of days in Peniche & deciding to continue up the coast, fate would have other ideas & I’m just about to walk the last few km in to Fatima! The road from Obidos is a tough but...

    Yesterday I took a day off! A whole day of not doing much other than eating & sleeping R&R if you like. And after walking the 10km into Santa Cruz i find my self camped up at Santa de Porto Novo for the night. There’s a rock here that goes out into the sea and has a statue of a Madonna on...

    So the end of day 8 & 1 week on the caminho. About 13km today and Ericeira was a very hipster place & a bit of a surfing Mecca. Very busy with all nationalities & lots of shops! I opted for the Spar which was a little underwhelming for a Spar but they do €1 cheese so fresh cob cheese sandwiches...

    Day 7 & checking in! Not much to report as the journey over the last 2 days has not been that historically interesting more rather just continuous magnificent scenery & solitude. I’ve covered about 30 km to Ericeira, the route being coastal isn’t without it’s challenges with some challenging...

    Day 5 and after waking up next to a lake 1 km from the Convent of the Capuchos, it was a gentle stroll to arrive at 10am to check it out. I wasn’t disappointed, I happily paid the 7€ & took to wondering the delights of the maze of a place which it is! You need to see to understand it. Off the...

    LIVE from the Camino Sunny Lisbon

    So Sunday, day 3, was meant to be a rest day with just a 10km hike to Sintra. Only that didn’t go as planned & was more like 14km but the way it happened was I’m a km away then all of a sudden ! It’s 4! Today I discovered that there is indeed quicker routes throughout the park that google...

    Hi! Thanks for the recommendation. I must have passed just below it but I’m heading back that way through colares so I’ll check it out & I think jet boils are a lot more efficient these days but I do have a spare gas canister. Another thing to carry :)

    LIVE from the Camino Sunny Lisbon

    Beautiful morning! I’ve hiked up to the chapel & there’s shelter where I’m brewing coffee & having more breakfast :) it’s 10km through the mountains to the sintra palace so an easier day today! My long term plan for now Is to return back to the coast & travel north then cut inland to Fatima &...

    Some pictures from yesterday’s walk which was day 2 Cascais to Sanctuary of Peninha in the Sintra Mountains. Yesterday was a little spiritual for me with the cross on the beach just as I was starting & as the day went on & I struggled there were places for me to rest & when I was too hot a cool...

    LIVE from the Camino Sunny Lisbon

    Thank you for your support :) I’m kind of making it up as I go. I wanted a longer walk but the traditional central route didn’t appeal. Getting my stamp in Cascais was very rewarding and today I have hugged the coast and entered into the sintra mountains from the rear. The palace is 5 km away...
