    Pleasures of urban walking

    Great idea. I live in downtown Boston, a very walkable city that was created by adding landfill and, in the 19th century, annexing near by towns. The result is an odd shaped city of about 25 neighborhoods. I decided to make my urban walk an adventure. My goal was to walk in every neighborhood...

    My Video from the Camino Portugues Central via Porto

    Love your video. Great way to start the day here in the US. Your children is adorable. Quick question. Where was that very first scene in the video? Thanks.

    Proper Fit for a Backpack

    Inexperienced, I did not fit my backpack properly and developed meralgia paresthetica on the Camino. Although not painful (yet uncomfortable), from time to time, I still feel that numbness in my left thigh years later. Had I know the dangers of improper fitting I would have found an expert to...

    Looking to do first 7 day walk

    You might want to consider the Camino Portugese and start in Tui. It's a beautiful place to begin right on the border of Spain and Portugal. In 5 or 6 days of walking you will be in Santiago. Bom Caminho

    A quieter Camino, Maybe?

    Might you consider the Camimo Portugués?
  9. David Manzo

    Help finding the best route please.

    You might also consider the Camino Portugues and start in Tui. Walk from Tui to SdC and then on to Finisterre

    Need Advice Siena to Rome on Via Francigena

    Looking to walk from Siena to Rome in June. Would love to hear of your experiences. How many days? If you took rest days where and why? Lodging (looking for private room)? Comparisons to Caminos that end In Santiago? Any and all advice welcome. Thanks

    Suggestion where to start

    Whichever you decide, don’t rush through Valença and Tui lots to see and appreciate in these contiguous towns.
  12. David Manzo

    good resting spot en route?

    Great place. I loved Tui as well

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Yes the Cathedral was beautiful and much appreciated and the Pilgrim Mass was moving even though Boafumeiro was not used. But what I found special along The Way were the quite hours of prayer as I walked each day.

    5 things most pilgrims don't do on the Camino (but should)

    At least one hour in silence each day while you walk even if you are in a group.

    Easter greetings

    Buona Pasqua

    Portugal

    It’s too quick a pace to get from Porto to Santiago in 8 days. 10 works fine. Maybe consider Tui to Santiago.
  17. David Manzo

    Is it easy to cross from coastal to central path?

    Senta Litoral from Porto Cathedral to Vila do Conte and then to the central in Barcellos. Loved every minute of it!!!

    Fear of heights (don't laugh- It's real!)

    For those reading this and thinking of other routes where fear of heights might be an issue — on the Camino Portugues, the bridge (Puente Internacional de Tuy) from Valenca Portugal to Tui, Spain might necessitate a Taxi alternative.
