    Need Help with GoPro Camera

    Groovy! Great ideas. I plan on taking my GoPro along with my 20MP Sony dig cam when I set off on the Camino Frances on May 2, 2015. Main reasons: I get better resolution with the Sony, but I get weatherproofing with the GoPro. Each is loaded with a 128GB card -- should be plenty for the trip. Am...

    How many days did it take you to complete the Camino Frances?

    I am walking the Camino Frances starting May 3 (less than 2 months from now!), and I expect the only reason I'd be weeping as I near Santiago de Compostela would be because my walk would be ending. Thank you for all the responses -- I find them very useful in estimating my walk time.

    SJPP-Finisterre: 17 days Y/N en pied?

    What does it say in the movie? " The true pilgrim's poor, and must suffer." I agree with you that something could be said for limiting the jibber-jabber, as well as frills and frou-frou on the road: maybe it would enhance the introspection, the contemplation, the reflection. It's your Camino. Do...

    first time pilgrim: How long does it take to walk?

    Thanks for the alert of the question having been posted in 2012. :p Good info for me, though, as I am vacillating between the Camino Portugues (from Lisbon) vs. the Camino Frances (from SJPdP) as my first camino in May 2015, and I also only have 30 days. Y'all just helped me decide on going the...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Thank you very much, Bajaracer and katdavis! 'Ordered my unlocked phone from Amazon last night. I plan on using it for sleeping reservations and other camino-related business, so the 25 euro SIM should be perfect for me.

    3 days is this normal

    Soooo... This is what I am thinking: when I go on my Camino Portugues next spring, I will go into it with the sole expectations of working my walk, contemplating, absorbing the moments, and be free from the assault of things that are familiar. All else that come my way I will accept as bonuses...

    Lisbon - Santiago

    Thank you Albertinho and amorfati1. I got plenty of time to look into this. I guess I'd better start, huh?;)

    Class of 2015

    Wow! So many Batch 2015 planning walks in spring or fall of 2015 -- just like me.:D Am new here, but learning lots from "hiking" the vast expanse of this site. 'Hope to learn as much as I can from this site and Brierly's guide book before my trip. Anyone doing the Lisbon to SdC walk in May of...

    Lisbon - Santiago

    Again, great info. I'm planning my Camino Portugues for May 2015 or September 2015. Quick question though: Could someone please direct me to somewhere in this site for info on Lisbon to Porto via the coastal route? Or, maybe some folks have info on this? Thank you.

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    'Glad I found this page! Anyone has info on getting a SIM card in Portugal? I am planning on doing the Portugues starting from Lisbon next May. Is there any place to buy a prepaid SIM card at the Lisbon airport? Thanks to any info anyone could share.
