    10 great European pilgrimages, the Telegraph

    Yes, perhaps so. But if you go early spring or late fall, I think the mega crowds of FC can be somewhat avoided. As for myself (traveling solo) I really enjoyed the commoradity of the French route. And whenever I needed time alone I could simply veer off to be by myself. Whereas, here on the...

    10 great European pilgrimages, the Telegraph

    Well, no surprise to me that the Portuguese route is not listed on “10 of the greats”. I am just a couple days away from reaching Santiago.... having walked the PC since my starting point of Lisbon and must confess.... I was/am the very least impressed. Shocked actually that Brierly would...

    Coastal route hotel recommendations

    Good tips, thank you so very much! I am taking a break right now here in Porto with plans of going on tomorrow or possibly the next day. Since your stays/stages are so fresh in your mind would you kindly mind sharing the towns (in order!) that you have stayed in up to date? I am actually right...

    Very dissilusioned. Can't wait to finish

    Oh no! This is discouraging to hear. I've just began the PC a few days ago, and have actually been looking forward to reaching Porto, thinking that the scenery will be prettier & making it worth the long hikes. I must confess that up to now I have not been very impressed with what I've seen...

    Help needed! Carry-on Lisbon-Santiago

    On this same line of thinking..... how about courier service such as they offer on the Frances route? Is this available to the Pilgrim? If not Lisbon.... then from Porto to Santiago? Thank you kindly.

    Shorter stages desired...help!!

    Hello Fellow Portuguese Pilgrims, I am hoping to shorten up the stages from Lisbon to Porto in my upcoming Camino. Ideally, looking at doing 15 kms a day...no more than 20 if at all possible. If any fellow traveler have found alberques/lodging that books such as Brierley's do not have listed...

    Fleece & courier services?

    Hey Fellow Pilgrim Peeps! Just a couple broad term questions which I'm hoping somebody can help me answer :) I will be traveling the Portuguese trail from Sept 13 - Nov 8. I am trying to keep my backpack weight to a bare minimum. Do you think it's necessary that I bring along a FLEECE...

    Questions about Caminho from Lisbon

    Thank you very much wisepilgrim. Your links were of great value as I was able to send a request for reservation through the second one, whereas I was having difficulty doing so before. Now may I be pesky enough to inquire about Alverca? From what I can understand the availability here (as far...

    Questions about Caminho from Lisbon

    Thank you on both accounts, Levi! I must admit - I am in such a quandary about the poles as I absent-mindedly tend to forget my sticks way too often whenever at a bar or cafe. Lol so much so that I am now several less hundreds wealthier now due to this!! :/ So I was hoping to forgo the hassle...
