    Gore tex shoes or boots?

    Do not wear waterproof shoes for the camino if you are walking during warm weather. There is no ability for breathability for your feet. I didn't have a clue when I walked the Portuguese camino in 2017. I developed nasty blisters. Better to take a second choice of walking sandals for any...

    Sleeping in a dorm room where there's someone with a CPAP

    Definitely use your cpap and if you can get the smaller travel size perfect. I use a cpap and have never had a complaint from my husband regarding any noise from the machine, it is whisper quiet so much better than snoring etc. Anyone who complains of cpap white noise should stay home and take...

    Partial coastal or full inland route?

    The coastal is gorgeous and you could do it all the way to Caminha then go inland.

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    HI I loved my Camino. I was on my own and 66 years young. I pre-cooked all my accommodations before I left Canada just to elevate any added stress. The Atlantic coast is beautiful and the towns along the way so lovely. It was a huge accomplishment and one that will forever be a big memory for...

    15 days on the Camino Portugues

    Start in Porto and walk the river then along the Atlantic. It is fabulous. I did it in May and June 2017. I walked what is called the Senda Litoral and the Coastal route and Litoral sometimes cross each other. The coastal towns are lovely and food is great. There are good guides accessible...

    Walking Porto to Santiago and have a few days ahead of that

    Hi Victoria BC. I live in Victoria as well and did the Senda de Litoral last May/June. I flew Lufthansa from Vacouver to Frankfurt Germany then into Porto. Lufthansa was great. I saw a good price posted and went to Flight Centre which did all my arrangements. I booked a year ago at this time of...

    Help needed with the first stages of Camino Portugues

    I did the Senda de Litoral May/June 2017 and loved the journey. Kept my days relatively short plus started early morning as it was hot and humid for the 3 weeks of my camino. The scenery along the Atlantic coast is gorgeous and food and drink wonderful. Buen Camino

    Camino Portugues - Having Second Thoughts

    I walked the Senda de Litoral from Porto to Santiago and although the cobblestones are difficult on the feet the scenery was stunning along the Atlantic coast. I pre booked all my accommodations in hostels or hotels through booking dot com. You may have less options for open bars/restaurants...

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    I loved the Senda de Litoral. The long stretches of Atlantic coastline are spectacular. The communities are lovely and food and drink wonderful. Kelly's instructions maybe the best although I used someone else's and had a few puzzled moments because couldn't make heads or tails of where or what...

    Is there any reason why I need more than 2 outfits?

    I only took 2 outfits and it was enough and I was on the Camino for 3 weeks.

    Bloody cobblestones!!

    I too hated the cobblestones. I fell the first day as I approached the Douro River in Porto and thought my camino was finished...fortunately nothing was broken or severely twisted so I continued on my way but that day May 23rd was 34 celsius at 8:30 am and as I limped along my feet quickly...

    To Coast It Or Not

    I'm starting my first Camino on May 22nd from Porto, Portugal. I've found lots of good info and maps through Google and this forum. I'm doing the Sends de Litoral which is on the coast and criss crosses with the Coastal Camino. I too am a woman 66 walking it on my own. Excited and nervous...

    Detailed route map from Viana - Coastal Route

    Thank you for the info. I've already got all of this info and maps. Great job done by Luis. So looking forward to getting out there. Our Victoria chapter of Company of Pilgrims had a huge all day meeting yesterday with speakers, equipment shown etc. A fabulous way to get pumped up. Cheers Rina

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    I have already decided to start at Se Cathedral and head to the Douro River and stroll along the waterfront. Why miss something so historic and colorful.
