    Has anyone found a day trip/detour to Fatima along the route?

    I flew into Lisbon and immediately caught a bus to Fatima, spent 2 nights in Fatima and then caught a bus to Porto to start walking from there. Despite my nervousness I found it all to be very easy and did not need to pre-book my bus tickets. I think each ticket was around 11 euro. Details...

    Starting Spuritual Variant on the 24th or 25th from Pontevedra?

    I am very happy that I feel well enough to walk from Pontevedra to Combarro tomorrow, the 24th. I hope to meet someone who is willing to do the climb with me the next day

    Starting Spuritual Variant on the 24th or 25th from Pontevedra?

    Will anyone be leaving Pontevedra on the 25th and be able to walk the Variant with me. I need someone who wouldn't be impatient with my slow pace due to this illness. I have been bedridden in Rio for many days and I think I am finally on the mend and able to start walking from Pontevedra on the...

    Pontevedra on May 25th?

    Will anyone be around Pontevedra on the 25th and be able to finish the walk to Santiago with me and wouldn't be impatient with waking slowly? I have been bedridden in Tui for many days now and I think I am finally on the mend. I am planning on taking the train to Pontevedra and starting on the...

    Hospital in Tui open on weekend?

    Thank you guys for your best wishes. I am still in Tui. The doctor wants me to stay here at least one more night. The ladies at Ideas Peregrinas have been wonderful. I am blessed to be stuck in such a beautiful city and hostel. But I am disappointed and it's very hard for me to be this...

    Hospital in Tui open on weekend?

    I am stuck in Valenca all by myself with what I think is a really bad case of bronchitis. Possibly walking pneumonia. The woman who ran my albergue in Rubiaes brought me to Valenca and told me there are lots of doctors and hospitals in Tui. I have contacted my travel insurance via email and...

    Thin warm Gloves in Porto?

    Thanks! I have circulation problems with my fingers. No one else is waking around with gloves. It does get cold at night though right now.

    Thin warm Gloves in Porto?

    I am on my way to Porto today and the weather here in in Portugal is way too cold for my problematic fingers. I brought windproof gloves and have been layering them with my fingerless gloves, but that isn't enough. Is there an outdoors store that would probably sell wool or other good...

    Vaseline and Omnifix easily found?

    Thanks for all the replies! I'm in Fatima now and will start walking in a few days from Porto. Taping hotspots is something I learned from this forum. I just put one swipe across the metatarsal area and then put Vaseline all over my foot. The Vaseline doesn't mess up the tape. I tried...

    Vaseline and Omnifix easily found?

    To keep my pack weight down I am taking a very small jar of Vaseline for my feet. It will only last me a few days. Is Vaseline easy to find from Porto to Santiago or should I bring a larger jar? Is Omnifix tape easily found as well? Pre-taping and covering with Vaseline has become my chosen...

    Vodaphone in Lisbon airport?

    Great, thank you! Yes, I may just get it in Fatima before I am able to check into the place I am staying. I was able to find the store address online. Thanks for the help! Julia

    Vodaphone in Lisbon airport?

    Okay, one more question. Is the Vodafone place in the airport before or after customs and baggage etc? I arrive 2 hours before the Vodafone store opens so that might cause some problems if I have to sit around waiting for Vodafone to open before I can get my bags and go to customs. I then...

    Vodaphone in Lisbon airport?

    Thanks Dan. Am I able to get this at the airport? You say, "does not run in Spain"so do I have to get a Spanish Vodafone SIM card when I cross over into Spain? Or did you mean "Does not run out in Spain "? Julia

    Vodaphone in Lisbon airport?

    I have read on several threads in the general forum that many people like using a Vodafone SIM card in their unlocked phone during their Camino. My questions are 1. Does it work in Portugal and can I get the SIM card at the aitport? 2. Any other suggestions for what I can use that have worked...

    Need help with bus tickets

    Thanks everyone. I think there was an issue with the computer I was trying to use last night. Maybe things weren't loading correctly. Somehow this morning I was able to find and purchase the tickets on my phone just fine.

    Getting Really Nervous

    There seem to be a lot of these threads, but I too am a solo female starting in May. I generally felt okay until a couple of weeks ago when a man tried to attack me. I'd really like to find someone to start walking with. I plan to start from Porto May 13th.

    Need help with bus tickets

    I was going through Rome 2 Rio to plan how to get from the Lisbon airport to Fatima on May 8th and then to Fatima to Porto on May 11th. The bus routes seem like the way to go but even though the Ouibus leaves hourly from Lisbon to Fatima and the Rede Expressos leaves every 30 minutes there...
