On Sept 1, 2022, my 2 friends set out from Porto and walked the Senda Littoral Camino variant to Santiago.
I tried to make less of a detailed, explanatory video (there are plenty) and, rather, wanted to present a brief look into what we saw, day to day. We eventually arrived in Santiago after...
3 of us are starting in Porto on Sept 4th and walking the CP Coastal Senda Litoral and Variante Espiritual. Oh and then the Camino Fisterra. Hope to see some of you on the trail! Buen Camino!
Long before I knew anything about the Camino, I visited Santiago with my wife as part of a multi-week Spain trip. She snapped this photo of me. Does anyone know where this was taken in Santiago? I figure it's probably easily identifiable by someone.
So originally I was thinking Coastal (Porto to Pontedevra) plus the Variante Espiritual. But now I am considering this option if anyone is familiar:
Start in Valenca/Tui - normal Camino Portugues until Pontevedra.
Then switch to the Variante Espirutual until Combarro
Then switch to the Ruta de...
Thought it might be fun for everyone to retell a funny Camino moment or story.
Picture it. 2018. Somewhere on the Camino Portugues enroute from Redondela to Pondvedra. Something goes kablooey on the top of my left foot on a steep descent and the foot started to swell up bad. I stopped and put...
Hello friends! I have not been here in quite awhile (since my 2020 Camino was canceled for obvious reasons). Anyhow I have retooled and have the Camino Portugues in my sights, once again - coastal this time.
Anyone planning to head that way beginning of Sept?
As a reminder of the previous...
If anyone is interesting in exploring this fairly new English Camino with me in July, let me know. It's not long at about 7 days but it looks really nice. I did the Camino Portugues last October and was looking to explore something slightly different and less traveled or common. Thanks!
If you...
The best bet for people trying to avoid ibuprofen, Tylenol, and the like is to simply carry Willow bark. Easy to order. Not expensive. Some quick info below however plenty of other info exists.

I have brands I like and trust but...
So Rome2Rio is great showing all of the different ways to get to Tui from Madrid. The trouble I am having is clarifying the train / bus times to align up correctly. Rome2Rio isn't 100% clear with regards to when the trains leave and how many options there are. I suspect it might also be too...
So I leave in October. Originally I planned just Sarria to Santiago. But since I have time to ruminate, I changed it up. Now I'm starting in O'Cebreiro and extending to Finisterre and Muxia. By October, who knows which way I'll actually head :)
At least the plane tickets are bought so I have to...
All is a go for my camino. I'm doing Sarria to Santiago then to Finsterre and finally Muxia Oct 16 to Oct 26. Hope to meet some fine folks along the way! Now the hard part...waiting....
Buen Camino!
Brian from Orlando here. Glad to "meet" everyone! I am planning my first solo Camino (Frances in March 2019) with great support from my wife (who probably is happy to get some alone time :)).
I am a photographer however I have mixed feelings around the magnitude of time I want to spend taking...
