    LIVE from the Camino Coastal Route June 2022

    Days 6-8: Baiona- Vigo- Redondela- Pontevedra We now join the main Portuguese route and it is lovey to see more pilgrims, yellow arrows, roadside stand, and dirt paths. The dirt is so much nice on our feet than the cobblestone and boardwalks! I have loved every town on this route and especially...

    LIVE from the Camino Coastal Route June 2022

    Day 5: We crossed into Spain via water taxi this morning after staying in a little mobile home on the river. Today we also had to take a short bus then we will be caught up to only walk the rest of the days. We stop in Baiona tonight. Now a bit controversial maybe: I’ll preface by saying I know...

    Day 2 Labruge- Povoa de Varzim 15 km We stayed at the Junqueira 76 guesthouse which was great and had an evening at the beach. I know it’s not everyone’s style on here, but we’ve decided to stay in mostly private rooms this time. For two girls we just feel more comfortable and we do not feel...

    LIVE from the Camino Coastal Route June 2022

    Hello all! After a few days stranded in airports and a couple days exploring beautiful Porto we are now at our first albergue in Labruge. 25 km day and absolutely stunning scenery on the senda litoral. Tomorrow will be a shorter day then we will alternate. There were not nearly as many pilgrims...

    Solo Coastal Route June 2022

    Thank you for the tips, definitely planning on a day in Porto before beginning. It looks gorgeous. Do you need to book the water taxi ahead of time or is it pretty available? Thank you.

    Sleeping Bags on the Coastal route

    Oh good idea. I also carry a shemagh as a towel/shoulder pad/scarf/pillow case, you might like that too!

    Sleeping Bags on the Coastal route

    I am wondering if nights in June are colder on the coastal route than others. On the Frances I brought only a sleeping bag liner and was fine but with COVID I know there will not be spare blankets. What did you use for sleeping on the coastal route?

    Omicron be damned, I bought flights to Portugal today

    I booked mine for June the night before the new restrictions dropped this week. Definitely a yikes moment in the morning. Hopefully we are both able to safely make it work!

    Second Camino Route Opinions

    Wow thank you all so much for the thoughtful responses! I can’t respond to each one but they have helped very much. I believe I am going to do the Portuguese Coastal route this time then explore France afterwards. I am a teacher so I will have many chances in the future to come back in summer...

    Second Camino Route Opinions

    I walked from Leon to Santiago when I was 19 with a group of friends. I am considering a solo/partly solo trek next year but need advice on which section to walk. I am thinking 2 weeks to try out solo. Option 1: Re-walk the same section, now solo and older Option 2: Start at St. Jean Pied de...
