    Hiking poles available tonight (Nov 27 2023)

    We walked from Santiago do Cacém to Sagres in 14 days. Fantastic trip and not a day of rain! I’ll write a trip report on the Rota Vicentina forum when I’m back home.

    Hiking poles available tonight (Nov 27 2023)

    I’m coming back from walking the Rota Vicentina (fantastic trail!) and I have a pair of trekking poles that I will leave at my hotel in Lisbon tonight. If anyone is in Lisbon and needs a pair of Decathlon hiking poles, just chime in here! I’m leaving at 5am Tuesday morning so this is your chance!

    Send luggage ahead from Lisbon to Lagos?

    I'll be walking the Rota Vicentina this November and was wondering if anyone was aware of an option to send luggage from Lisbon to Lagos where we will end our walk. We'd love to be able to continue traveling from Lagos onward without having to return to Lisbon to pick up a bag... Thanks!

    How many days

    Lots of good advice already! I wanted to add that perhaps most important to me when deciding how long I need is to include a solid buffer (a week if possible) to account for extra rest/weather/tourist/injury days, slowing down to stay with your camino family, and simply not to feel like you have...

    Trail runners on the Norte

    Running shoes, including trail runners, last between 450 and 800 km according to most running websites. So that seems right on target.

    Trail runners on the Norte

    I wore Hoka Challenger ATR‘s on the Norte without any issues - despite the heavy rain and mud in May 2019…. I would make the same choice again without any concerns especially in July/August. Happy trails!

    New info (I think) about the caminhos south of Lisbon

    I've also been thinking of walking the entire length of the Portuguese coast from Lagos to Santiago (and even onwards to Malpica by way of the Camino Finistere & Dos Faros). This is a great resource to help bridge the route gap I had between Satiago do Cacem and Lisbon/Santarem. I even dream of...

    Immersion Spanish Schools in Spain

    I spent two weeks at Enforex studying Spanish 5 hours a day between walking the Camino Frances and the Del Norte. Enforex is a large international organization with Spanish schools in Spain and latin America. I chose Enforex because their offering matched my time frame and location preferences...

    Accomodations on the Camino del Norte

    I walked from Irun to Santiago starting on May 15 this year. I never personally had any issues with accommodation but heard stories of others having to walk further or even backwards to find a bed. My strategy was to either book a bed a day ahead (especially on weekend nights which can get...

    rain pants for the CF in late april/may?

    I walked the Camino Frances from SJPdP starting May 1, 2018. I used my gaiters, rain jacket, rain pants and down jacket on several days along the way. Between Santiago and Finnistere I hit rain, cold and high winds for 3 straight days and would have been hypothermic without this gear. While the...
