    Which one to walk in mid October- mid November ?

    I was just about to start a similar thread.... I’ve done 4 Portuguese loved them… I “need” to do another Camino (10 to 14 days) but I can’t do one till late October/ Early November. I was planning to do The Primitivo (which looks so beautiful) but I’ve had a busy but physically lazy summer...

    Coastal Vs Central Camino?

    Please see attached...I'm in another forum and this is what I post when the question is asked. I think the post by Ken is very comprehensive and on point. I have walked 4 Caminhos in Portugal 3 Central and 1 Senda Litoral / Coastal.....I found the Central to be much more authentic. I think your...

    Thank you Camino Angel

    This is superb advice, another variation I have done on this (on the advice of a physiotherapist) is to go into a supermarket half way (or at one third intervals on a long day) and buy a bag of ice (plentiful and cheap) and a strong carrier bag and add some water and make an ice bath for your...

    Camino Primitivo in October -- feedback requested

    Thanks Rich / RicnNGail, I am considering either the Primitivo or Del Norte in October (after 4xPortuguese) and this helps me in my evaluation.

    What is your favorite Portuguese caminho ?

    To answer your question in a very narrow context. I have done 4 Caminos north of Porto ( 1 Coastal and 3 Centrals...I think I've already answered the question) I have also walked some of the path north of Faro I preferred the Central for a number of reasons: 1) I found it more traditional and...

    LIVE from the Camino Day 1, Camino Portugués Central

    In my experience on the The Central you will have a lot more interaction with other pilgrims....give it a few days. Definitely more so thatn the Coastal where people will swap between the Coastal and the Literal. Tesla is the best selling pure electric car brand in Portugal and sold circa...

    Digital credential

    Yes I appreciated that but I'm trying to be diligent here I bet the "polerites" never ask for their post to be deleted once they realise it's been answered. Anyway I think Hoka Ones take up half the server space :-)

    Digital credential

    FYI from the Correos To get the stamps of the places through which he passes, the pilgrim will only have to capture some image with his camera. Through the geolocation system, it will automatically become a seal that accredits the pilgrimage, which will also include day, time and place. I have...

    Digital credential

    This may appear sacrosanct and I know despite liking my technology I would never get one of these but.... and I don't believe I've seen it here on the forum yet.... You can now get a digital credential in the form of an App (Google / Android) where it appears you scan a QR code at the...

    Braga to Ponte de Lima

    I'm sold on the two towns but I will not be making a diversion as such.... If I do it I will walk part of the Torres Camino which passes through these towns and then converges with the Central in Ponte de Lima anyway

    Braga to Ponte de Lima

    Thanks The Torres to the Central is definitely a good idea for anybody maybe doing a 2nd CP with the chance to take in the two historic cities of Braga and Guimarães. I think I'll strongly consider this next time round.

    Bag Delivery and Accommodation Tips for Camino Portuguese from Porto in May

    I used Tuitrans for 3 Caminhos and found them brilliant, however I used Caminofacil for my last Caminho as they were 40% cheaper and just as good. Their interactive user-friendly website was another advantage over Tuitrans

    Camino portuguese this week - Sept 13, 2021

    Good suggestion by Dilbin; Groze is a really good site ( just use the translate function in your browser ) it will show both the Central and Coastal Caminos and suggested stages but adapt as you see fit. https://www.gronze.com/camino-portugues I also recently came across Godesalco which is...
