    Back to the Camino Portuguese

    I really wish I had time to walk the coastal route. My very good Camino friend loves it, but it's 30km further and I only have 7 days. :-(. But in May you will have a great wallk Chris

    credential stamp at porto airport

    Hope it works for you. Last year I asked passport control to stamp my Camino passport but they said no, even still it wasn't long on the way before I got a stamp. Yes it would have been nice to have a stamp at the airport. But by the end of the day it's wasn't that important that I didn't as...

    Which legs do I cut out?

    To add my comments, the stages i suggested to miss are only if you must do SJPP to Santiago. and if you must do this you are missing the point of the camino. its the journey and the people and places you see. don't over plan, just walk and see where its gets you. start in Pamplona of even...

    Which legs do I cut out?

    The part along the Free way is still there, but there is now a concrete barrier separating pilgrims on parts they could not divert, and a lot of work as been done to put the path off the road now. so the dancing with death and the lorries is a lot safer. Chris

    Which legs do I cut out?

    Ok, Firstly, only 12% of Pilgrims walk the whole way from SJPP even if more say they do, so don't worry about it. Yes i was lucky enough to walk the whole way in 2014, but by half way i realsed it was the people you meet on the way that is the most important, not the route and that surprised...

    Is the camino portuegese well signed

    You dont really need poles ( you do on the Francis). If you need a pole, take one. You can buy umbarellas on the way if needed. It rained 7 of the 9 days and the large umbrella (€3.5 that overed me and my pack) was priceless. I would not recommend an umbreala on some parts of the francis as...

    Is the camino portuegese well signed

    Just got back from the Portuguese, on the Portugal said after porto, its very well marked, ie, every other lamppost. When you get to the spanish part, less markings but the large distance obelisks help. Was a great walk and the quality if the Portuguese albergues was very good. If your...

    Where to start my camino!?

    Are you sure you will get back next year, if so, may be do the first 10 stages of the 33... And take a day off as well, if you are unsure then go for the last 10 stages may be from leon. You can always do the start another time.
