    Route from Vigo changed?

    I’m seeing a lot of discussion on FB about the route out of Vigo. People are recommending taking a new bike path that starts at the Ascensor Halo and ends at Chapela because the official route is ugly, boring, or something. I don’t remember it being bad at all last fall so I pulled up my photos...

    My fellow Canadians: Cabot Trail

    Can you do a multi day hike on the Cabot Trail? I know there are lots of day hikes in the park but is the actual Cabot Trail just a highway? Seems like a huge lost opportunity

    Interesting sites along the Portuguese Caminos

    Inspired by a thread on the Frances forum, I thought we could share interesting sites - architectural, historical, art, food, culture - that we saw on our Portuguese caminos. Since so many people are doing combined routes, let's not limit this to coastal or central. It might help people choose...

    Note to first timers re. accommodations

    I’m seeing a lot of questions from first timers about accommodation. If you’re planning for next spring-summer, don’t start looking for accommodations yet. A lot of places will not show up in internet searches right now because they are closed for the winter. Don’t bother looking because you’ll...

    How to wash a back pack?

    I borrowed a back pack for my Camino last month. It was 30+ degrees every day so the pack got pretty sweaty. I’d like to wash it before returning it. Any tips? Just soak it in a soapy bath tub?

    Notes from a newbie on my Camino Portugues

It was unseasonably hot (30-35 degrees) and absolutely no rain. I’ll put a few of my thoughts here: - Senda litoral out of Porto was a great first...

    Warm ups, cool downs, helpful stretches for on Camino

    I’m on day 6 of the Camino Portugal Coastale and things are starting to seize up. I have a warm up sequence that I’m pretty happy with. But I need a cool down to help prevent or ease the seize up at the end of the day. I’d also love some back stretches. I’m getting a lot of middle back pain...

    My First Hiking Shoe question

    I've never owned a pair of hiking shoes. I've always just worn running shoes or even sandals in my younger days, and have only done day hikes. In preparation for my first camino in Sept. (Portuguese), I bought a pair of Oboz Sypes light waterproof trail shoes. They were on sale on line after...

    First timer, Camino Portuguese Coastal Route late Sept 2023

    Hi all! I’m from Toronto, 60 years old, retired early not by choice but I’m settling into it. I travelled a lot for business in China and some in Europe and I miss it incredibly. I am in reasonably good shape. I’ve already started informal training with long city walks in my new hiking shoes. I...
