    Help changing paths in Portugal

    Yes it was the spiritual variant - and it was beautiful! Day one is a steep incline from Meis til the last 1k which is a rough descent. Armenteiro - in the evening the singing nuns at the monastery offer a vespers service for pilgrims. Day 2 is a beautiful walk, the way of stones and water, then...

    Help changing paths in Portugal

    I just did a combination of coastal/littoral up to Vigo - at that point many joined the regular Portuguese route to Santiago. It was fun taking the fisherman’s boat from Mougas, walking the beautiful beaches up to Baiona/ forest views to Vigo. From Pontevedra I took the variant - which was so...

    Accommodations Question

    I just finished Oct 13 from Porto - did Litoral/Coastal & Variant. I had prebooked mostly thru booking.com however learned that wasn’t necessary!

    Be careful on Espiritual Variant

    I sent a message ahead on what’s app requesting bunks. It was completely full the night we were there so I was glad we had! There is also the monastery (I had emailed but was full) and a parador hotel - that’s it!

    Be careful on Espiritual Variant

    Yes basically same thing happened - that walk we were on goes for quite a ways before you reach anything. At the first bar we reached we told the proprietor and asked her to report. Later that day when we reached Vila de Arosa we talked to others who had been approached by him earlier on the...

    Be careful on Espiritual Variant

    Just did this walk a few days ago - on the beautiful section of Stones and Water - just after leaving Armenteiro , there is a local fellow accosting women. (Happened to several of us) Just a heads up to not get into any conversation with him, keep you eyes forward! [Photo removed by moderator]

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Some more good news especially for you Portugues Perigrinos

    I just finished the Portuguese Coastal & Variant - only 1 day rain - beautiful walking weather! Only time we put on a mask was to enter a shop, restaurant, Albergue etc which was mandatory. Outside walking the Camino I saw maybe 2-3 people total wearing masks. And it’s the same here on the...

    Considering this modified route. Compostela qualifier?

    I believe I read somewhere recently that as of june? the spiritual variant was now recognized officially - but of course I cannot find where I read that! Perhaps someone else can comment or knows of this ???

    Thank you so much! May I ask - did you have a train ticket already? Necessary? Are the trains frequent? (Can you tell it’s my first time!)
