    It's south of Porto roughly along the A1 highway.

    Lisbon to Fatima, Fatima to Porto, Porto to Santiago! Need h

    Greetings Anna, I walked the Portugues backwards from Santiago to Fatima last year. Perhaps the direction isn't the same but maybe some of my experiences can help you. First of all it took me 3 weeks to walk that distance (Lisbon is almost 130km further). That being said, Lisbon to Santiago in...

    Walking Santiago-Finnesterra -Muxia

    Monica, you need not fear being alone. I walked the Fisterra route last year (June 29-July 6) and by my rough estimate there were about 50 people at each stage. Sure its not as populated as the Frances, but you'll still see plenty of people, and it is well marked going towards Fisterra/Muxia...

    Walking Santiago-Finnesterra -Muxia

    When you arrive in Fisterra and Muxia you get a... certificate, if you want to call it that, that you completed the trek there (though I don't recall if they require proof that you walked it). Upon returning to Santiago you can probably get a Compostela there. As for the 'daily cost' walking...

    What would you take out of your backpack?

    I think it's all about knowing your body's limits. I toted along 27lbs (15% of my body weight) for three months and felt no physical wear (aside from the first 5 days). The only things I brought that I never used were medical supplies others wouldn't leave home without (needle & thread...

    Walking Santiago-Finnesterra -Muxia

    The albergue in Negreira has a credential specifically for the Fisterra route. I walked the Santiago-Fisterra-Muxia-Santiago circuit last year and may have some advice for you. Very few people go to Muxia, and even less walk back to Santiago. That being said, the route (as of June 2012) is...

    Spanish or Portuguese?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Obrigado/a gender modified? Though no one will throw a fit about it (they're more likely to be happy you tried), you may get some curious smiles if you use the wrong gender. When I walked the Portuguese last year I had little trouble communicating as you are...

    Fatima to Santiago, any info on the next 3 days to coimbra.

    Greetings! I'm a long-time reader, first-time poster myself =) Reading this propelled me to act because I did the Santiago to Fatima route in July 2012 and thought maybe my experience could help. You should give yourself three weeks for this trek from Santiago to Fatima. I would divide the...
