    Pilgrims menu in Porto

    Have you considered staying at https://albergueperegrinosporto.pt/ It’s wonderful place and pilgrims often cook and eat together. Maybe you tried and they were booked.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid on the Frances

    Totally agree Eva. And even more importantly, protect the wonderful Spanish folks who welcome all the pilgrims in all the services they offer (tiendas, bars, etc.) Some of those people that are left in the small villages are often older and staying healthy to remain open is their livelihood...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid

    What about sleeping in albergues? Seems like that is the most difficult situation. Breathing same air for 7-8 hours? I can’t imagine people wear masks to sleep. How does that work ? Or do pilgrims only stay in private rooms?

    Anybody else walking The Invierno during Easter 2019?

    . Hi Laurie: thank you for the link to the guide. If not this year, hopefully next. I really appreciate your quick reply and insights on the VdlP. Will stick with it since it's rare I walk in April. Of course every camino is different and provides its own special feel and beauty but nice to...

    friend and I are scheduled to walk on vdlP starting April 15. We have 3 weeks. I chose vdlP because I thought the weather might be better in south in April and was super excited to experience Seville for a day or two during Semana Santa. The more the time approaches and read, the more I feel I...

    What albergue/hostal did you have a positive experience with in Porto? :)

    I strongly recommend the Albergue de Peregrinos de Porto to anyone starting their camino in or going trough Porto. This isn't just a place to stay and sleep. The owner and Hospitaleiro have been pilgrims and know, understand and care about your journey. They are helpful and get people to...

    Porto to Finisterre October 2016

    There is some truth to all the above comments. Traveling and the Camino is so individual. Just returned from Portuguese and walked entire Frances route to Finistere/muxia last year. Main difference while walking in Portugal. Lots of cobblestone paths and terrain mostly flat until you cross into...

    Spending New Years Eve on the Camino

    I just finished the Frances in June and the desire to return is so strong. Since I dont't think I can take off another 6 weeks in spring/summer , I am contemplating doing Portuguese or Sarria/Santiago during Christmas/New Years vacation since I am off work at that time. Not sure which would...
