Hi Anna,
5 of us walked the Portuguese Camino in July, 2012, taking the bus from Fatima to Porto where we began the walk. We walked 120 miles in 9 days which I thought was too fast. (I was the oldest in the group). One night, we stayed at a hotel because the albergue was full, once we slept...
Hello,
We'll be traveling to Santiago from Porto on July 1, 2012. Here are some questions we have:
What kind of hats do people wear ?
What are the temperatures? Should we bring a sleeping bag and if so, what weight? Also should we pack rain gear at all? Do we need a light jacket? What...
Thank you for all the very helpful information! I really appreciate your repsonses.
Do you know of a light weight map of Portugal that I could carry in my back pack? I'm trying not to take a lot of books to keep the weight down.
Do you know if Teva sandals are appropriate for this trek...
What is the average cost of albergues and/or hostels between Porto and Santiago? Do you need reservations at each place you stop for the night? How many kilometers between Porto and Santiago? Can it be walked in 9 days?
If a person cannot continue to walk are there daily buses or trains...
I've just signed on to this chat room. How do I post a question and interact with others? Thank you for any help you can share about asking questions, etc.
