    Would you recommend taking a bathing suit?

    We have just returned from the Camino Portugues, having done the Senda Litoral up to the River Minho then turning inland and walking uprive to Valenca to cross into Spain at Tui. We had one great opportunity to swim in the sea when we reached Praia de Ancora and stayed in the Albergaria Quim...

    Bloody cobblestones!!

    I presume you haven't followed the Senda Litoral, where, for the first couple of days out of Porto you walk on a tremendous surface, a wooden boardwalk! It gives a little back in spring from each step! But I agree, once you hit the cobblestones they are HELL if you have blisters on your...

    8yo Irish boy on the Camino

    Hi micamino73, We are just back from the Camino Portugues and passed a Spanish family on the inland leg from Tui on a number of occasions. A couple with two boys, who I would estimate were about 10 years and 8 years old, carrying sticks and play-acting (?superhero's) as they went! Remarkable!

    LIVE from the Camino map of the Portuguese coastal route

    Be careful with the terminology Helena! The coastal route isn't actually (right) on the coast. If you want to walk water-side as much as possible you will need the Senda Litoral. Check out Luis do Freixo's maps.... https://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=6153631

    Robbed on Camino Portuguese

    I think the Spanish "reasonable force" clause is common throughout Europe? It is certainly the case here in the UK and there are occasional cases where someone (a home-owner or someone defending themselves) are prosecuted for seriously injuring or even killing a perpetrator. In many/most cases...

    Trying to schedule flights to porto

    Hi Clark, You don't say where you are travelling from? I will be doing the trip from London, England and using RyanAir can fly into Porto and return from Santiago de Compostella. Don't know if that's of any use to you?
