Hi Surya,
Thank you for all this information. I have an even bigger dilemma. I only have 300 UK pounds and I have a ticket for 4 weeks starting finishing in Lisbon. I was going to walk the coastal but as you said the central is cheaper. I can stay with someone in Porto and then walk back...
Hi Everyone
I am walking from Lisbon on the coastal route. Can anyone recommend a good guide? My plan is to walk up to Porto and then back down the central route. Has anyone done the central in reverse. I have 4 weeks but want to spend some time in Lisbon and Porto.

Don't worry, it sounds like you have enough to survive. I am leaving Lisbon on 31st walking 4 weeks and I might only have £400!!!! I will have to find food and hostels with that!!!
Hi
I am walking from Lisbon to Porto on the coastal route and back down on the central route. How many miles is it? Has anyone done this before. I have walked the French route to Santiago but just want a quiet trip this time .

Hi Everyone
Super excited as I hoping to walk the Portuguese Camino in September this year. I last walked half of the French in 2014.
Has anyone walked the Portuguese. I am starting in Lisbon. How many days did it take to walk to Santiago? Loads more questions but I don't want to bombard!

Thanks Anne,
I am going to have to repack again. I don't see the sleeping bag the day before I go. Good tip about putting it at the bottom. Just as a matter of interest. Did you roll your clothes and is there any format I am missing on the packing it in?
Thank you so much. I going to have to re pack and try and squeeze something in. The temperature is dropping fast over in England, it still seems to be holding it in Spain 21/22.
I booked Unamuno this evening. So happy to have my first night booked. I want to start walking and give myself time to go over to the coast for the final destination. Sooooooooo looking forward to my spiritual experience and meeting fellow Caminos.
Thank you for helping me on this journey...
Thanks so much for your tips guys. I am going to see my Australian who has back packed around the world to see if she can cram it all in. The sleeping bag coming next (a day before I go) is one that the straps really press it down.
Do the hostels have blankets just in case I can't fit it in...
Hi Guys,
I am having a problem with my packing!! With the basics I am full and there is now no room for a sleeping bag. I have a liner a friend lent me but I am worried it might be too cold in the Albergues for just a liner? I am starting to walk part of the camino starting in Leon on the...
Just booked the last bed for 10 euros in the Albergue Unamuno. Thank you so much. It has good reviews and only 10 minutes from the Cathedral. Breakfast is 2.50euros. It will save me in the morning and you don't have to be out by the crack of dawn so I should be refreshed for my first day...
Just booked in the Albergue Unamuno, 3 minutes from the Cathedral in Leon. Only 10 euros. Good reviews. Clean and with hot showers. Breakfast 2 euros 50.
Buen Camino
