    Camino Castellano Lebaniego

    Did you ever get info on this—perhaps by DM or other threads? I’m planning on this route for August but have yet to read a first hand account. It would be my last stage of four week pilgrimage from Bayonne to Santo Toribio via Vasco to Frances then cutting north at Hontanas to join this route.

    Is there a detailed guide to walking from Valenca to Fatima?

    I walked Valenca to Fatima last summer—the links above were what I had in addition to reversing gronze and reversing Camino ninja app. I did not find any additional guides. I did the first section to Porto reverse Coastal rather than by the official guide. It was not particularly complicated to...

    Travel from US to start Camino in Tui

    I flew SFO to Porto on Air France last June no problems then caught a regularly scheduled bus at the terminal north to Valenca. The bus continued north though I don’t recall if it stopped in Tui. In any event it’s a 30 minute (beautiful) walk from Valenca to Tui. The year before I flew TAP SFO...

    Valenca to Fatima

    From Valenca to Porto coastal it was not that well marked. I had multiple wrong turns, though corrected pretty quick using Camino ninja app. As many blue arrows as yellow arrows in opposite direction once past Porto. The official Rota Carmelita is well signed from Coimbra to Fatima, with maps...

    Fatima certificate???

    If you’re walking from the North as I did last month you can also pick up an official Fatima credential at the cathedral in Porto.

    Advice on Heat

    That was my method on valenca to Fatima pilgrimage I just finished July 11. I drank a liter of water before walking out the door before 6am when the heat wave hit. There was a hard day in Ourem where I got there by noon also my practice but had booked a room at the castle an hour more uphill in...

    Valenca to Fatima

    I just walked that route leaving valenca june20 and arriving in Fatima July 11. I took the coastal route to Porto, but only because I walked up the central route to Santiago last year—it was great too. I do have plenty of recommendations and also various impressions. Casa do Poco in Valenca...

    Alert Wildfires in Portugal

    Agreed—absolutely. In reply to the original post, there were no warnings or barricades of roads or other measures in place for someone walking through as there would be where I’m from in California where law enforcement routinely shuts down roads for wildfires. In addition the English language...

    Alert Wildfires in Portugal

    I walked to Freixandria Saturday from Ansiao on the Rota Carmelita to Fatima. I received verbal advice from a nice couple on the way that the fire was controlled along the path. I paid attention to the ash on the ground and smoky air and where the helicopters were so I felt reasonably safe. That...
