    starting from Lisbon

    I walked out of Lisbon in May of this year and it was very nice. I was a solo female traveler who had the same concerns about highway walking throughout the Camino Portuguese but I can honestly say I never felt unsafe. I read a lot of advice about taking transportation out of the bigger cities...

    Frances vs Portugues for self-reflection

    I was a solo female pilgrim on the Camino Frances in 2019. I walked in the spring and found it to be just right as far as the number of pilgrims. My reason for going was for self-reflection as well. I stayed in a private room wherever I went because, for the most part, I wanted to be alone. I...

    Train from Santiago back to Porto

    I just booked my bus (Alsa) from SDC to Porto for end of June. I inquired about the train but this was just more convenient. Direct and I get into Porto early afternoon :)

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    I questioned everything on day 2 of the Camino Frances. I woke up that morning after walking from SJPDP to Roncesvalles, everything hurting and still suffering from jet lag wondering what the hell I actually got myself into lol. Quitting definitely entered my mind but I figured there probably...

    Getting to St. Jean pied de port from Paris

    I flew from BC Canada to Paris and stayed overnight near the Gare Montparnasse. Walked to the train the next morning, train from Paris to Bayonne with an easy transfer to the train from Bayonne to SJPdP. As a solo traveler who had never taken a train before, I was pretty nervous, but it was so...

    Will you be flying out of Vancouver?

    Flights to/from the Portuguese Camino

    Yes, that is the same video I watched which is why this whole conversation just got more confusing to me. She was literally walking in the middle of the road :P

    Flights to/from the Portuguese Camino

    Thank you. I'm from BC and don't think Air Transat flies from the closest airport, but I could always check in Vancouver.

    Flights to/from the Portuguese Camino

    That is so weird to hear. I requested an itinerary from one of the popular companies that pre-book everything for you and the first day out of Lisbon has me taking the train to Vila Franca de Xira and when I asked why, I was told it was because: "when you walk out of Lisbon you'll essentially be...

    Flights to/from the Portuguese Camino

    Sounds wonderful! Thank you for that. Did you find walking out of Lisboa dangerous? It has been suggested that I skip walking the first day because of the highway.

    Flights to/from the Portuguese Camino

    Yes, I will be starting from Lisbon. Thank you for that information, I wasn't even aware "multi-city" was an option.

    Flights to/from the Portuguese Camino

    Hi everyone, I am currently looking into flights for my Camino Portuguese and would like some input. I will be travelling from Western Canada to Lisbon and, because I will end up in Santiago de Compostela, I thought I would just fly home from there. Not only is booking "one way" flights super...

    How Important Was It To You To Do "Full" CF ?

    The decision, for me, to walk the "whole" Camino Frances was made for a few reasons. I felt it was going to be a once in a lifetime experience due to financial reasons as well as how far I was travelling to do it (Western Canada) and also because of the personal backstory as to why I felt I...

    Not another book about the Camino!

    Congrats on both your walk and your book. Two great accomplishments. I, too, self-published my experience on the Camino Frances into book form and had no problem putting it on Amazon. After 1.5 months "live" I am very happy with the results and I hope you will be too. CONGRATULATIONS!!
