    Weight Loss

    I walked from Porto for 2 weeks in April. I lost around 15lbs, mostly because I am gluten free and carried cheese, rice cakes and canned fish, yogurt as well which I ate a lot of.

    Porto to Santiago

    I am planning to walk from Porto to Santiago beginning April 7th from Porto - I land in Lisbon on the 5th and will take a day to settle, visit a castle, then take the train or bus to Porto on the 6th.

    Traveling alone.

    Hi Lynne - I am doing a solo walk from Porto to Santiago beginning April 5 - and I can certainly relate to anxiety. I am treating it as part of the journey. Also, reading too much, or over-planning can add to it - and stressing over my packing list is not helping... I hope you go forward with...
