    Bed Race → Astorga to SdC early April

    This brought back memories of when I was a student nurse in Auckland, NZ - we raced old hospital beds down the hill of the main street (Queen Street) in an inter hospital team event🤣

    Short walk in France - planning

    Le Puy to Conques is the most popular stretch with several villages on the 'most beautiful' list - as mentioned in my earlier post we prebooked all our accommodation up to Conques. After this we only booked 2-3 days ahead. A lot of French (and others from Europe) walk in 1-2 week blocks...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    For anyone else undecided - we caught a midday boat, lunched and toured the church in Pedron then walked on another 4k to stay at O Lager de Jesus - excellant vegetarian communal meal in a beautifully converted old building. It also has a swimming pool.

    Lisbon to Porto: Jan 2024

    I have only visited Lisbon twice for a couple of days but love the vibe of this city with all it has to offer - see jungleboy's excellent article above. I would certainly visit again if I get the chance. Last May we started our Portuguese Camino from here and enjoyed the quietness of the...

    Short walk in France - planning

    Bonjour! If you have 10- 11 days to walk you could finish in the amazing village of Conques. We walked from Le Puy en Valey to SJPdP in 2018 - taking 11 days to Conques but we walked some shorter days.

    Camino Portuguese alone or with someone

    Hi, a friend and I walked from Lisbon in May this year, a few days I walked solo as Eileen had blisters and tendonitis. As I said on another thread we didn't find it as bad as some say - probably because due to those comments our bar was set quite low😅 We met pilgrims right from the first day...

    Lisbon to Porto: Jan 2024

    My friend and I walked from Lisbon mid May this year. We were prepared for this first half to be not as interesting/ industrial/ road walking from all the negative comments we've read on here. Maybe because we had set the bar so low we actually enjoyed it, taking the good with the bad. Tomato...

    Senior Walking the Portuguese Coastal Route in the Rain: Advice Needed

    I hate wet feet so have worn gortex boots on all of my 3 caminos (and multiple other walks/hikes/tramps) and if rain is heavy wear rain pants to prevent rain running down my legs into the boots. I change socks midway through the day so my feet stay warm and dry. Yes, I know that many on the...
