    Porto to Santiago

    Walked the Central way 2021 and really enjoyed it. My only recommendation would be to split the Barcelos to Ponte De Lima stage as this was very long and tough on a warm day. Also it meant that we arrived into Ponte De Lima late so we did not see much of it.

    How many days walking from Porto to Santiago?

    We did the Central route in September 2021 in 11 days but completing the long stretch from Barcelos to Pont de Lima in one day was a mistake. We were too tired to enjoy Pont de Lima so recommend splitting that across two days.

    LIVE from the Camino Day 1, Camino Portugués Central

    We did the central route in September 2021 and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Your experience was very similar to ours but after the first two days we really enjoyed the scenery and the Portuguese culture. The towns we went thru were not wholly reliant on Pilgrims for their businesses so it felt...

    Your favorite camino hat!

    I love my Tilley hat but in wet weather I use a sealskin hat for the extra waterproofing. When you have no hair you need a hat 😆

    Did you meet "The One" on the Camino

    I walked with a friend of mine two years ago and he met his partner while on the Camino. They are both from Ireland and from the same city but had not met before day 1 of our Camino. I quickly became a spare wheel and let romance blossom. They still walk together on the towpath. Interestingly...

    Snoring

    Thanks everyone for all of your useful advice. No thanks to Spikey above who is my Camino buddy. I raised the question after his boyfriend confessed that Spikey's snoring is "off the scale". My girlfriend has confirmed that I snore so I am going to wear a nose clip to reduce my snoring and...
