    Porto Start Options

    Hey all- I’m starting my Camino out of Porto on the 6th of August and was wondering which path was the most scenic/convenient out of Porto. I have heard the way out of Porto is full of industrial area and busy streets and was wondering if there was a way around this. Basically I just need help...

    Broke Pilgrim Leaving in a Month

    Thanks for the input. I have considered this but my tickets are unrefundable. I can’t fathom throwing away almost 1000 dollars as a student. My own fault but I think I’m just going to take out a loan and repay it in full once I return to my job.

    The cost of a ticket from Portugal to Toronto in August was 700 whereas from Paris to Toronto the ticket was 390 CAD! I looked at train prices which weren't bad (about 125 CAD) just anxious about navigating trains for the first time solo through Europe O_o

    Broke Pilgrim Leaving in a Month

    Hey thanks :) I think that I am most concerned because in my past I have not been very good at calculating exchange rates and how much extra transport is going to cost me. I haven't even bought my ticket back yet (waiting for next week's pay) and I will be flying out of Paris. So I still have to...

    Broke Pilgrim Leaving in a Month

    Hey Perengrinos- I have a dilemma. I bought my ticket to Lisbon in December when money was looking plentiful. A few months and a few unfortunate circumstances later and I’m broke for Portugal. I’ll be trying to survive off of 900 CAD for my 100 km/ 2 weeks in Portugal. I’m scared because I...

    Porto to Santiago - which route?

    Hi there! I completed a section of the Camino Frances in 2016 from Burgos to Santiago, and now I am wanting to do a section of the Camino Portugues this summer. The only thing is that I am caught between doing the coastal way and la senda litoral. I was wondering if people who have done either...

    Porto to Santiago August 2018

    So, in the summer of 2016 I did 305 km of the Camino de Santiago (Burgos onward) and am wanting to do the 200 km Coastal route from Porto to Santiago in August. I had a few questions regarding the route. 1.) Is it relatively safe for a young woman walking solo? 2.) Are there reliable and various...

    Sending backpack on to next stage...

    Be careful with Correos! My pack got stolen in Portomarin this summer before someone could pick it up! Some albergues have a common area pilgrims leave their bags to be picked up in- be careful!

    Camino is calling me back..

    This August I hiked 305 km of the Camino de Santiago with my best friend. Recently I have been feeling the urge to escape and do the entirety of it from St. Jean to Finesterre. Since I only started in Burgos I had a few questions: -How safe is it for a young female to walk the camino alone...
