    Coastal Camino from Porto

    Is September a good time to walk the coastal camino from Porto to Santiago. Can you tell me anything about the topography? My husband and I have walked the 500 miles on the French Route in 2015. How does the Portuguese route compare to that? We are 64 and 73 years old. Thank you!

    Introduction to the Camino Portugues

    My husband and I walked the Camino Frances last year in 34 days. We have been talking about returning to the Camino and may be do the Camino Portugues next time. How long is the whole route? Does it start in Lisbon? How do the two routes compare/differ? Is one any harder than the other?

    A few questions...Water filter, sandals, rain prep

    My husband and I just finished the Camino Frances this past October. I had a lot of problems with blisters but was able to alternate between my Merrell Moab trail hiking shoes and trekking sandals which I bought in Viana. It made a world of difference!!!!!! I wouldn't have been able to go on...

    Newbie needing advice

    Hello Tony, I am not going to give you any technical or gear advice because I am a novice myself. You will be able to get lots of good information on this forum about such things.

    To the End of the World Camino film

    My husband and I just returned from walking the Camino Frances and watched your movie this afternoon. We related to so many of your comments and it brought wonderful memories back! Including the daily routine of carrying for our feet:)

    Looking back...

    Isn't sharing of information one of the reasons to be on this or any other forum? Otherwise, why bother?

    How much training is required?

    I am not na experienced hiker but my husband and I (63 and 72 years old) just finished our walk from St Jean to Santiago. And I can't stress enough the importance of you being proactive in taking care of your feet. Once you have the blisters it is much worse. I also trained at home with and...
