    Starting point just north of Porto

    My sister and i stayed in Arcos at Quinta São Miguel de Arcos. Highly recommend. Beautiful place with a lovely pool but it's inland. Hang a right at Vila do Conde : )

    Toothpaste and deodorant - where to buy cheaper?

    My sis and I walked into O Porriño and couldn't find our hotel so we ducked into a farmacia for directions. I'll always remember how nice and clean and great smelling it was and the employees were so nice and helpful. I bought a tube of facial sunscreen which was a bit expensive but I loved it...

    Camino Frances (Leon) or Camino Portugues for a first time camino?

    Oh, the places you'll go! I walked Ponferrada to Santiago in 2013 and Porto to SdeC in 2017. My heart is in Portugal. I envy you your choices. Vaya con Dios.

    North Highland Way

    My sis and I and two friends will be walking St.Cuthberts Way this August!

    Reading book worth carrying?

    On both Caminos I took a paperback AND my kindle. I LOVE to read so for me it was worth it. This August when I'm on St.Cuthberts Way I will only be taking my phone to read from....or maybe a paperback! Not THAT much weight to worry about.

    ...and the Camino gets busier every year

    Why not, JP? My sis and I prebooked on the CP, had no probs and met numerous fellow pilgrims.

    Booking last 2 weeks in May

    My sis and I used Booking.com for our CP and loved it. Very user friendly. We stayed at nice comfy establishments and even though they were not alburgues(except for two) We still met a fair share of peregrinos.

    "Cornwall's Camino" article

    I'm walking St.Cuthberts Way in the Scottish borders this August. Only 62 miles but it's going to be beautiful. And, St.Cuthbert was a real living person. No made up stuff.

    A day in Madrid

    I agree with Roger. Go to the Prado! You can eat lunch there. It's lovely.

    Recommendations for where to stay

    My sis and I stayed with Miguel last June 2017. His place is wonderful, clean and one can stay in a private room with twin beds as we did. We had to walk down the hall to the toilet but no big deal. I highly recommend O Recuncho do Peregrino.

    Non seafood availability on coastal route?

    I had the best spaghetti Bolognese at the beach in Laburge just before we settled in at S.Tiago school house albergue. Can't recall the name of the place but I did remember to take a picture

    Joseph Fiennes taking family on Camino

    Joseph and Ralph Fiennes mother, Jennifer Lash, wrote a wonderful book, On Pilgrimage, about her travels to several holy sites one being Santiago de Compostela. It's probably still in print. Get it if you can and read it. Very inspirational.

    That's Samos! Spell check sucks.

    Hotels from Porto to SdC

    My sis and I stayed at Balearic Acuña on June 10 2017 and had a wonderful experience. Our room, with fluffy white bathrobes waiting, was just across from the heavenly pool. We indulged in a pilgrim's spa experience which included warm water Jets and a leg massage(19 euro) and ate a yummy...
