    Returned from Camino Portugues today - 1st July

    Just got back home today after starting in Valenca on 21st June. What an amazing experience!!! Fantastic weather along the journey -never saw rain once.

    First Night Accommodation

    We arrive in Oporto on 20th June and, after collecting our Credencial from the cathederal, will travel to Valenca in readiness to start our Camino the next day. Would we be eligible to stay in the Albergue in Tui on the night before we start or do we need to book local accommodation?

    Albergue Equipment

    I know that many of the Albergues have facilities to prepare food but do they have pot's, pans, hot water (for coffee) etc or do we need to come prepared?

The guy in the store advised against a sleeping bag liner indicating it would probably not be warm enough (I...

    Fear

    These responses are amazing, encouraging and so informative!! Deep down I too really want to experience this wonderful journey but have been hesitant and fearful for the self same reasons.
