    Getting the metro at Porto airport to head toward Labruge?

    I'm arriving in Porto tomorrow and plan to make my way up to Labruge for the night. I'd like to take a metro to a place that is convenient and then walk to Labruge. I don't know if there will be signs (arrows or shells) to point me toward the path. Is there anyone who has done this before? I'll...

    Hello, I am in the US and am reading of many cancellations or major delays at many airports across Europe. For people who have traveled in the past couple weeks, I'm am wondering what your experiences have been. I will be leaving soon and am worried about making a connecting flights in...

    SIM card for Spain and Portugal?

    If I get a SIM card in Portugal, will it also work in Spain? I should add I have never used a SIM card and the whole idea of messing with my phone makes me nervous. In the past I have used my Verizon international plan, but I want to be both economical about usage costs and safe while traveling...

    Best way out of Porto for the central route

    Thank you all so much for your input. I see the common opinion is that walking out Porto is a challenge and it's a good idea to avoid it if I can. I plan to return to Porto for a couple days before I fly home, so I can take in all the city has to offer at that time. Thanks to all of your...

    Best way out of Porto for the central route

    Yes, I’ll return and have a couple days in Porto before I fly home. I think I’ll be able to relax and enjoy the city a bit more at the end instead of the beginning. Thanks!!

    Best way out of Porto for the central route

    Hello- I am looking for tips from anyone who has left Porto for the central route. I do not want to walk for miles through the city, but I want to stay on the central path from the beginning. So what is the best (and nearest) place to begin my actual walk that is past the busy urban setting of...

    Walking from Porto airport?

    I have read about walking from the Porto airport to the central route. I am interested in doing this if it is safe, but I cannot find details about how to get from the airport to the path. If anyone has done this or is familiar with the route, I would love to hear from you. Additionally...

    Experienced CP pilgrims...how many days?

    Thank you for responding. Did you find the walk from Vila do Conde to Rates to be difficult? I have heard it's a dangerous stretch. I wanted to do what you described, but now I am worried about a busy road. Also, you mentioned you wish you would have walked out the first day. Do you mean to...

    Having spouse join for final 100km, or meet in Santiago - I’m thinking it’s not a great idea…

    Go with your gut. However, a few years ago my sister and brother-in-law met me in Santiago. I had walked for almost a month on my own and had met some wonderful friends, but I had to say goodbye to my Camino family and was feeling a bit down. I was emotional...all emotions! I was so happy to...

    Differences between the Frances and the Portugues?

    Did you take the coastal or the central path? I have read that the central path has a richer Camino history, which I am always looking for. For me, it is also a religious/spiritual experience so I will be looking for churches. However, much of this is something we can carry in our hearts-...

    Differences between the Frances and the Portugues?

    You mentioned that you walked for two weeks....does this include the Espiritual variant? And did you begin from Porto and go up the coast, or did you take the central path? I am waling the CP for the first time in June and am trying to count my days to see if I will have time to go on to...

    Experienced CP pilgrims...how many days?

    All of these details are helpful. I am considering your advice for where to stop and how to break up long days. I don't mind a few long days, but it all depends on how I feel at the time. How is Casa de Fernanda? What town is it in? I've heard of it before, and since you mention it, I think it...

    Experienced CP pilgrims...how many days?

    Thank you for posting this. This itinerary looks about what I had in mind. The walk from Porto to Vila do Conde looks a bit long for a first day and I see that you broke it into two days. Thanks again. I am looking forward to it!
