Thank you. I greatly appreciate this succinct comparison. (This also explains why you did not stay in Albergues :D). I have bookmarked your podcast and greatly look forward to listening to it.
Thank you so much! Your information is greatly appreciated, incredibly helpful, and has confirmed that this is the Camino trail that we will take this September. We will post our results.
Thanks so much! My husband and I are currently looking at your recent pilgrimage on the Caminho do Mar as a potential option. Your posts on that are fabulous. We are a bit hesitant to do 30 km days (22km is good for us). Are there ways to shorten those days and still have reasonable places to...
Is there any current information on the new Riverside exit out of Lisbon? My husband are already booked to arrive in Lisbon in early September. We plan to walk from Lisbon to Fatima and then onwards from there (we have 3 weeks in total). We are very confused about the route out of Lisbon and...

Hi, Karen - This is awesome information! I've been thinking of you. Congratulations on your journey so far. We have less than two weeks to go. The information above has been very helpful in answering my questions.
Thank you! That site is awesome. Now, if the internet gods (and time and energy) are with me, I'll be blogging live from the trail too. If not, I'll blog immediately upon our return home.
