    Questions about eSim card

    I got a Portuguese SIM card and had my Canadian plan on the eSim. I usually had the eSim completely off - however it was handy to have if I needed to do something that required verification - like paying a bill with electronic banking.

    Hi Phil, I’m not sure the exact time as we had to make our way from Porto to Villa do Conde by metro first. Also it was our first day so we took it easy. It was about 12 or 13km and was pretty flat most of the way with some elevation gain at the end. Very little traffic so we really enjoyed it!

    Vila do Conde to Rates - river or aqueduct?

There's testing available at the airport but we are going to have...

    Thanks for the opinions - it is much appreciated. Much as I love watching Formula 1 racing, we will be taking the Aqueduct route!

    Vila do Conde to Rates - river or aqueduct?

    Hello fellow pilgrims, We are walking the Portuguese Camino for our first Camino and start on May 5th. We will be leaving from Vila do Conde and walking to Rates the first day. I know that there are two routes - the river route which is the one that is well marked but has lots of traffic and...
