    Woman walking from Lisbon, hoping for input

    Also remember, from Lisbon to Santarem you are on the same route as the Camino de Fatima. Depending on time, you could walk to Fatima then cross over to Tomar. Don't miss Tomar though.

    On-line course on Gothic Cathedrals - free

    I've always been interested in architecture, especially of cathedrals. So i'm starting it today. I haven't taken a course outside of career specific ones in many years, so I'm really excited. Thanks for sharing the link. Lisa Mags

    Easter weekend arrival in Porto, start walk in Baiona

    I'm not sure about Portugal, but Easter Monday is typically a holiday in Europe and has the same 'closings and schedules as Easter Sunday'. I found this out the hard way in France several years ago... I'm not sure what was/wasn't open on Saturday.

    Hiking Quotes - just for fun.

    It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B. It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation...

    Ebike Rental Recommendation?

    I'm not sure about ebikes, but I've used Cycling-rentals.com for other bike rentals in the past and they are great to work with. Hey delivered to our starting point and picked up where we finished.

    Sharing “camino angel” stories

    From my notes - Camino Portugues just north of Lisbon, Oct 2015: The rest of the way to Alverca went smoothly, still raining though, and we easily navigated the bikes through the rail stations via the elevators, but it was now starting to get dark. Second set of issues, we couldn’t find the...

    Start of the Camino in Lisbon

    Farther up the road from the cathedral There's an actual starting point, at least this was there in 2015. Dismal Church was further up the hill from the main Cathedral on the left side if I remember correctly. This church was not open to the public,. What wonderful memories this brings back...

    Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?

    While I work on high tech or maybe for that reason, I love the times I can be disconnected. Friends, family and significant other can't understand how I can leave home without my phone some days and walk around with a laptop and phone others. When work requires it, I have to be fully...

    Has my Camino dream been broken?

    @DugganMi: You will get there, just believe! The pain will get less and less as time goes on. The first walks may be very short, but it will happen. I remember the first time I was able to walk from my living room to the bathroom without crutches or a cane, for me, that was the ultra bright...

    Has my Camino dream been broken?

    Based on what you say about the prognosis from your doctor, you will be able to do it. For it to happen though, you will need to believe in yourself and be very diligent with your rehab. Don't over do it, but try not to take many days off either. I did all the exercises I was given by my PT...

    Currently on Camino Portuguese share and advice?

    Looking forward, don't miss Tomar. It was one of my highlights of the Camino Portuguese for. We stayed at Tomar 2300, a hostile. Fantastic place. You have to go up and go into the castle it's amazing. A couple other highlights were the university library in Coimbra and visiting a port celler...

    Is the Camino losing its identity

    A couple favorite quotes which apply: "Never ever judge anyone. You don't know their story and what's really going on. A smile can hide so much." "There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. Pain alters our personality."
