    Hiking up O Cebreiro in the Rain

    Hello, we’re looking at hiking up O Cebreiro on Monday, and it will be raining. We were wondering if it’s better to hike up the road when it’s raining, or is the trail safe enough? We hiked down from Cruz de Ferro yesterday, and we understood why many people say to take the road if it’s raining...

We’re from...

    Carry your backpack please.

    My husband and I are in our later sixties, and we hike our Camino with our packs on our backs. We carry as little as possible. It is a lesson in simplicity and it reminds us of how little we really need. It surprised us how many people send their packs ahead. No judgment there. We feel it’s...

    Camino Portuguese alone or with someone

    My husband and I walked the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago as our first Camino. We always tell people who ask, to begin from Tomar or Porto instead of Lisbon. Like others have said, there are more stretches of dangerous fast moving roads that you’ll walk along, fewer pilgrims, and...
