    Walking the Salvador, starting June 26th

    Your Salvador itinerary is what I did in 2019. I stayed in municipal albergues each night. For updated information on lodging check the Gronze website. La Robla had restaurants and grocery stores. I did stock up with food to carry as there is limited support on days 2 and 3 on your itinerary...

    Lodging in Teo, Spain

    I stayed at the municipal albergue in 2016. it was clean and neat. I remember 2 restaurants not to fr from the albergue. It is a fairly short walk into Santiago. I arrived in time for the Pilgrims' Mass.

    Staying at Teo? Suggestion - visit Pazo do Faramello

    In 2016 I stayed at the municipal albergue and walked around the manor house. i recall two restaurant/bars in walkable distance from the albergue. From Two it was a nice short walk to Santiago the next morning.

    How to store Z poles

    In my experience leaving the poles extended over time can make them difficult or near impossible to collapse when you need to. Long term extension also keeps the flexible connectors stretched and that may affect elasticity. My advice is to regularly collapse them to avoid these problems.

    Enjoy a day in Porto

    Another place I enjoyed twice was the Cafe Majestic. Very good food and friendly and helpful staff. I ate there before I started the Central Route and after two weeks, I was remembered when I ate there again.

    Salvador questions

As for your question on lightweight pants, I wore the quick dry hiking pants that I usually do when...

    Masks, Masks, and Good Covid Hygeine

    Glad to hear mask wearing is a priority. I walked the Salvador in 2019. It is a stunningly beautiful walk and quite remote in places. Stay safe and Buen Camino!

    Large meal at midday like Iberian Culture? Is it for you?

    While on the Camino Portuguese and San Salvador I found that two main meals worked well for me. Cafe con leche first thing or as soon as possible, then a good breakfast a couple hours into the day's walk, usually 9:00 or 9:30 depending on towns on the way. I had some fruit in the early...

    Camino Portuguese

    I walked the Central Route in 2016. As noted above there are very nice towns and cities along the way and the countryside is nice. A top spot for me was Ponte de Lima; I thought the town was beautiful, especially the approach to the city. Bob Caminho!
