    Train Travel from Lisbon to Porto. Which station?

    Anyone know of a good medical clinic in Lisbon

    Hi! I’ve been traveling a bit prior to my Camino and have developed a sinus infection. (COVID test comes back negative. Yay!). I’m flying into Lisbon tomorrow and would like to see a doctor to maybe get some antibiotics. Anyone know of a good clinic? Especially near the airport? Thanks!

    I have noticed more postings recently from folks who are commenting negatively about experiences along the Camino. It always brings to mind a sign I saw in one of albergues early in my Camino Frances journey last year; "Tourists are demanding. Pilgrims are grateful." When you feel yourself...

    Lots of rain and lots of lovely sunshine too. I just took a poncho. It was easier to get off and on than a pack cover and rain jacket. I also did just fine with a liner rather than a sleeping bag. I didn't have any luggage other than what I carried in my pack (about 18-19 lbs). After the first...

    LIVE from the Camino Phil and Janet's great adventure

    Beilari is an amazing way to start your Camino. I stayed with them last week. They are a hard act to follow though. Burn Camino!

    Plantar Faciitis Treatments - Pre Camino

    A friend of mine got a cortisone injection for his PF about a month ago and has had wonderful results. It was done with ultrasound guidance. He continues to use the orthotics but has been pain free since shortly after the injection. Good luck and Buen Camino!!!
