    Security of backpack contents during flights

    My cheap training shoes stolen from my backpack side pockets by luggage handlers flying from Morocco to Lisbon in April this year. Furtunately I always carry on or wear my walking shoes as everything else can be replaced at popular starting points. Now I use an oversize rain cover for my...

    Portugues or Frances?

    Hi. I'm flying into Lisbon on 21/4 after a tour of Morocco. Planning on sightseeing for two days then start on 24/4. I thought I'd assess how I was feeling about the walk from Lisbon, and if necessary, high tail it up to Porto if safety in numbers was my need. I might even scoot up to do the...

    Portugues or Frances?

    I am planning on walking out from Lisbon around 24th April although am still having concerns about safety if there are not fellow pilgrims about until from Porto. If you do choose walking the Portuguese way when are you planning to start?

    Thanks for heads up about the cold, as I was planning lighter gear. I'll pack a puffer jacket and extra layer.

    Advice

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I'm soaking up all the information. I'm not so worried about safety, but feeling fearful about being lost and lonely. Funny that that should be my fear as I've lived most of my life independently and happily.

    Advice

    Thanks. I needed this reassurance for a Lisbon start. I could repeat what is familiar, but do want to try something new. Any suggestions for Lisbon first night accommodation (perhaps 3 so I can look around Lisbon first)?

    Advice

    Thanks for your replies. Yes, it seems from Porto, lots of pilgrims. I am walking from Lisbon, but should be ok too? I'm looking forward to it.

    Advice

    Hi. I'm planning to walk CP from Lisbon from 23/4/19. I'm having some concerns now as I read there might not be many people starting from there at that time. In fact, I read I may not see anyone Camino walking until further north. I have walked Camino Frances independently with no concerns in...

    After the Camino sending backpack to Australia

    Hola. Thank you for replies and helpful information. I like the idea of donating what's redundant at the end of the trip. I did that on the Lares Treck in Peru with some warm outer layers which the porters were happy to receive as they pointed to their holey jumpers. It's a good way to cull ones...
