    Lots of questions (Caminho Portugues)

    Diane, Since you spend so much time in Portugal I was wondering where to find information about the weather such as temperature and rain fall. I do not want to walk in strong heat either. What weather do you expect I late spring and what do you call late spring? ; ) Stefania

    Tour group companies

    Gijane, I have asked Magwood about luggage transfer and we will see what I get for a reply. Also I have ordered Brierley's guide and will see if he has info in there. Mario of the Santarém hostel may also have info as he seems to be a great supporter of the route. I too will want transfer of...

    Thinking about the caminho Portuguese? Concerned about starting in Lisbon? Read on.....

    M Magwood, Thank you so much for your beautiful blog and info here. I walked the CF 2014 and am considering the Portugues for 2015. One question I have is regarding luggage transfer. I really had foot problems on the CF and the Spanish doctors (yes 2 of them) told me to stop carrying my pack. I...

    Considering Portugueses but confused about routes

    Thank you so much Annie, I was thinking of late most of September 2015 and starting out in Porto as you did in May. It looks like 12 days of walking to Santiago and I am not speedy so maybe 14 if I breakup 2 long days into 4. I thought about doing the Finisterra/Muxia route with that. However...

    Grandma's on the Camino: Reflections on a 48-Day Walking Pilgrimage to Santiago???

    Hi Scruffy1, I read it and found it interesting for a number of reasons. This lady did not prepare for the camino by walking etc. so she had trouble with her feet, falling, etc. She did not ask for advise along the way hardly ever. She got good advise from people and when she finally did take...

    Considering Portugueses but confused about routes

    Thanks Annie, When did you walk and what was the weather like? Also did you meet many pilgrims along the way? I don't mind walking alone but I like to visit with people at the end of the day. Stefania

    Considering Portugueses but confused about routes

    Thanks so much Albertinho, You and others responding to my question have just been great! Your details also help a bunch.

    Considering Portugueses but confused about routes

    Michael: Thanks so much for the detailed description. This sounds really good to me. Using the map Laurie had in her link makes that very clear. Much appreciated. Stefania

    Considering Portugueses but confused about routes

    Thanks so much for your comments. Now that I look at that map carefully is see there are several possible routes but the Caminho Central (blue route) is the "Inland". I have a friend who might want to walk this with me but she is worried about walking on roads (knee troubles). Can you walk the...

    Considering Portugueses but confused about routes

    Hi to all who hike the Portugues Camino and those considering it! I have been reading many great comments but when reading the town to town descriptions of routes people have taken I get confused about the "Interior" and "Coastal" routes. I do understand that many who walk the coastal "cut over"...

    Severe tummy bug

    Hope your are feeling better now. Whatever you decide to do - be kind to yourself. The situation I am describing now is just a related FYI: I too had a bit of trouble at the beginning of my camino but my case was not caused by water. I found out that the café con leche can cause diarrhea in...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    No, not all of them (if I said that I misspoke). Many people must have had them but I was probably unaware. No, the folks that were really into them seemed to be keeping people up to date on their progress and peoples responses to their progress. Obviously, I hit a nerve. Sorry for that. Stefania
