    Copo de agua

    So I’d been given to understand in my pre-Camino research that one could just ask for a copo de agua (glass of water) which is basically tap water on the house. Since arriving in Portugal a few days ago, I had no issues with such a request at eating places. However, today, i was in a...

    Into Baiona - Litoral or Coastal?

    There are 2 routes into Baiona from As Marinas (about 6km from Baiona) - (1) Litoral (shown in red in pic), and (2) Coastal (shown in dark blue). What are the plus and minus points of either route if you have taken one or the other (or even both)?

    A Guarda - Bruselas or Convento San Benito?

    Baiona to Vigo - Break Journey

    I’m looking for recommendations for a suitable accommodation between Baiona and Vigo, preferably in a private room, although I’m open to suggestions in an albergue. Gronze indicates the Baiona-Vigo stretch (Litoral) to be about 25+ km. So some place midway would be ideal.

    Fatima-Tomar

    Hi, I plan to begin my first Camino from Fatima by walking to Tomar (about 30km) to join the Central route. As it is a long walk for a first day, is there anyone who has broken it up over 2 days, and if so, where did you stay? Secondly, is the Fatima-Tomar trail well-marked? Any tips and...
