I walked the CP last year with my dad.. We met many wonderful people along the way. Some places were quiet some were busy. It was a great walk. I urge you to do this one. It was very beautiful.
I walked from Porto to Santiago last year in teva sandles no socks most of the way and I also had minimus new balance running shoes. My feet did great. I even walked barefoot for a little ways just do I could say I did it. I did however need to buy new sandles when I got home.

Hmmmm, in the Brierley book he mentions a place called Arcos. It says there is only one place to stay, Quinta Sao Miguel. I was wondering if there may be more places, maybe I have the wrong forum. I am still having trouble navigating this site.
