    LIVE from the Camino Valença and Tui

    And so here my walk is coming to a close. I looked at the dates to wiggle out the next days to make it to Santiago but I am calling this Camino here. This walk is so brilliant. Rain and sickness and sore feet included. Today I met another pilgrim and had the most wonderful walk and talk and...

    LIVE from the Camino Sick on my first day of Camino

    I am wishing you the best! I was violently sick a few days ago in Barcelos on the Portuguese route. I felt tons better a few days later. Just take it easy on your body and yourself! You'll recover and get going again in no time. Just rest and rest and rest! 🤞🏻 Wishing you a quick recovery.

    LIVE from the Camino First and "failed" Camino

    Well I made two very long days from Porto to Barcelos following Senda Litoral to Vila do Conde and then to Arcos. I took a lovely little detour to Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Franqueira on the day of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and met back up with another pilgrim right as we...

    Starting Beginning of December

    I really like that suggestion... I was sort of thinking of doing it kind of opposite. De jetlag and explore Lisbon on the front end for a couple days. Take the train to Porto. Spend a day for that travel, see about acquiring a credencial, and just hangout for a bit. Then walk and depending on...

    That could be lovely! Do you have any time frame for when you will be on the path?

    Starting Beginning of December

    Thank you for your reassurance! I went down a rabbit hole of "What makes a 'good' camino? What makes a 'good' pilgrimage/pilgrim?" today. I got to fight my reaction of "more is better!", come up with a general plan of Porto to Santiago with days on either end. Perhaps the journey sometimes...

    Starting Beginning of December

    Also based on my little spreadsheet my options are: Porto to Santiago : 272 km Fatima to Santiago : 503 km Santarem to Santiago: 556 km Could be off a bit and I am planning on coastal route,

    Starting Beginning of December

    Currently I've decided not to go from Lisbon but instead travel to either Fatima or Porto to start walking. That would give me a day in Lisbon and a rest day in Porto, or a couple days in Lisbon and Porto, respectively. I think I'd really like to experience some of the Camino south of Porto...

    Starting Beginning of December

    True! I would say very fit, my job (wildland firefighter) requires me to hike and be active although it's been slow recently so I am expecting a certain amount of dusting off the walking cobwebs, especially with the hard surfaces. I fly into Lisbon on Dec 2, and out on the 20th. I think 40km in...

    Starting Beginning of December

    Hello! EDIT: Okay, after doing some math and looking at the dates I HAVE to work between I think a better idea is to spend some days in Lisbon, then travel by train or such to Porto and begin my walk there.... otherwise I am leaving NO room or time for dawdling... I am starting the camino at...
