    Day hiking areas in Southern Portugal

    If you have a car central Portugal has some very interesting hikes. http://www.aldeiashistoricasdeportugal.com/en/ http://www.aldeiashistoricasdeportugal.com/media/documentos/en/AF_GR-AHP_folheto_EN_DE_web.pdf https://www.naturtejo.com/en/conteudo.php?opt=o-que-fazer&id=84 I had planned on...

    Rota Vicentina

    LesBrass, could you post your experience when you are done your walk. I am also interested in the Rota Vicentina and also have problems with vertigo. Usually the vertigo happens when I am looking up and then tilt my head. The crystals in my ear dislodge. Because of some bad experiences...

    Strategy

    My daughter and I walked the Primitivo the beginning of last May. We carried a liter and a half each and found that adequate. There was always some place during the day that we could stop for a drink. When we walked the Hospitales the weather was sunny but cool so more water may be needed on...

    Luggage transfer on Viseu to Chaves?

    Thank you! The site is amazing. It would be quite affordable to use the taxi for part of the walk. Excellent!

    This is great. Thanks.

    Accommodation Portuguese Interior

    Is it possible to find accommodation every 10 to 20 km on the Portuguese Interior starting in Viseu or possibly Coimbra? If we need to carry packs because of lack of luggage transfer we probably won't be able to walk the 20 to 25 km. that are the distances given on the cpi site. Thanks for...

    Luggage transfer on Viseu to Chaves?

    Is there luggage transfer on the Portuguese Interior? (The camino starting in Viseu?) I think a taxi would be too expensive.

    Help from Taxis?

    Oviedo is a beautiful city so you could spend part of the day there and then bus to a starting point that will save you 2 days. It depends on your walking speed of course. All of the Primitivo is beautiful and I regret having missed the parts I did, but we needed to cut 2 days because of...

    Should the Primitivo be my first Camino

    The Primitivo was my first camino last May. Given that you have 3 weeks you should not have any problem completing it and then some. Unfortunately I couldn't do all of it because of lack of time and because I am a slower walker with a knee problem, walking from 8 to 25 km a day. Not knowing...

    Interior Portuguese and Via de Estrela

    On another thread, which I can't find now, there was a link to the Camino Torres. I have found all the gps links that I need there. When I first went to the site I couldn't use the links because of google translate. I just needed to turn it off and I found maps for the 'Route Cardosa', that...

    Interior Portuguese and Via de Estrela

    Here is a link that explains the Via de Estrela. It doesn't go through the city of Fundao but close enough. http://www.celtiberia.net/es/biblioteca/?id=2848 The following two links are from googling Via de la Estrella and Camino de Santiago, advice given on another thread on this forum...

    Interior Portuguese and Via de Estrela

    I'm doing the preliminary planning for a Portuguese camino in 2017 and am researching all possibilities from central Portugal north. If I do the Portuguese Interior I would like to start in Fundao since my husband comes from there. I have found a bit of information on Via da Estrela and found...

    Advice for first timers

    Erika, I think its admirable that you accomplished what you did. When any one tells me that they could never walk the camino, I tell them that they can. We decided to take buses and taxis at certain times because our goal was to escape stresses in our lives, not to create them, and still...

    Photo Journal by Michael George

    This link has probably been posted here before but here it is anyway. A small part of it was in the National Geographic I just read so I googled the photographer. http://home.michaelgeorgephoto.com/portrait-of-a-pilgrim

    How slow is slow enough? And some other questions.

    Researching the Camino I came across a book called 'Walk Your Own Walk'. I didn't read the book but the phrase stuck with me and opinions on this forum have never swayed me from it. But when we reached Oviedo to start the Primitivo we did meet pilgrims that expressed their opinion that the...
