    Combining coastal and central?

    Hi all Just an update on what we walked and how it went: Flew into Porto airport, took the tram to Vila do Conde and stayed in Erva Doce, very simple to do. Walked the Littoral from the front door of Erva Doce (basically, keep the sea on your left) up through Povoa and stayed in the Juventude...

    Combining coastal and central?

    Thanks both for the suggestions. From your suggestions, I'm thinking to start: Matsosinhos--> Vila de Conde (c.20k) Vila de Conde--> Barcelos (c.30k) Barcelos--> Ponte de Lima (c. 34.5k) Then continue on Central...... This avoids the urban walk out of Porto and takes in some of the coast. If...

    The Delicate Matter of Toilet Paper on the Camino

    Perhaps there is an element of local habits we are missing here? I've looked at the floor of a few Spanish bars and seen discarded tissues and cocktail sticks used whilst eating and with no rush from the owner to clean these away. Is the issue of discarded tissue, whether for peeing or from...

    Burgos to Leon in 2013

    Hi, sorry for ressurecting an old thread but I have a similar query to the OP except this time the departing country is Ireland. The shortest route looks to be to fly in/out of Bilbao from Dublin but the buses look a bit of a nightmare to get from Bilbao to Burgos and then from Leon back to...
