I stayed here in 2021. Loved it because —hosts were awesome, clean, modern, large inside communal area to sit, do laundry, outside covered area for eating, small pool, small yard with grass, two fantastic meals (dinner& breakfast). Off the Camino path about 600 meters but worth the extra steps...
After starting in Lisbon, I had to abandon the CP in Porto. Family member became ill & is now under hospice care. I plan to restart in Porto in the fall of 2024.
Good day. Can you give more specifics on how you got from Mindelo to Vairao?
How did you map the route? Directions taken? From Vairao you followed the central route into Rates? Thank you
Last week, I got a notice (from somewhere) that app was updated. I opened the app and was finally able to validate and get logged in. Not sure what the problem was, but it took a long time (maybe a year). I have a Greek phone number.
so maybe keeping trying!
thank you for the update & photo. Since Walkway after the bridge is still closed assume you had to backtrack back over the bridge to continue on the Camino path through Alpriate?
So based on the report attached by Friend of Barquinha in a nutshell what should we expect?
1. New route not open until 2024?
2. New route open first week in September 2023?
3. If new route is not open, assume we still use the old route through Alpriate (with no albergue open)?
thank you.

pilbeo = Porto to Santiago only
tuitrans = Porto to Santiago only
caminofacil = Porto to Santiago only
topsantiago = I’ve sent two emails and no response to my questions.
correos = only in Spain; I used them for CF and they provided excellent service.
Maybe...
I’m coming up with the challenge of finding pack transfer beginning in Lisbon. Plenty from Porto & Tui. Kindly request any information starting from Lisbon. Thank you.
I have a Mont-Bell Versalite Jacket. A bit spendy $250, but is super lightweight (5.8 oz, 165g). It has zip pits, hood, great breathability (no sweat inside) & at the same time great in keeping the rain out. I think you have to order directly from Mont-bell. Www.Montbell.com
I have used it...
I have used the same - although I think I used the first aid type. On the CF, I used it to cover any potentail hotspot/blister areas. As mentioned put on clean, dry and nonlubricated area. Mine stayed on for 3 days even with showering each day. I wore Chaco sandals.
Over the past year, I...
