    Coastal: Places to Stay

    Hi Fraluchi. Well, I will take your comment about age as a compliment, but I certainly am no longer considered a "young person"! In any event, when I walked Porto-Santiago this past Sept/Oct, I didn't pay much attention to distance, honestly. I began on the Coastal route and walked another route...

    Coastal: Places to Stay

    Hello Ella. Welcome back to 'reality'! I'm so glad to hear you had a wonderful adventure. You are right...your experiences are not what most people get to enjoy. Yeah!! I understand your thoughts on the villages vs. the tourist areas. I was in Barcelona 1.5 years ago - more specifically the...

    Coastal: Places to Stay

    Ella, have the time of your life. I'm just checked in at a hotel in Santiago. I made it! However very tired and sore. Wonderful time. I don't know if I told you that I took the coastal route only until I took the ferry across to Spain. Then I left and went east to Tui to join the regular...

    10 days to Santiago starting Sep 27th

    Hi Ella. I have to figure out the details of my start today. I have a place reserved in Vila do Conde fpr Saturday, which should be for Friday (I've goofed with my days!) and one in Viana do Castelo Monday, which should be for Sunday. Glad you asked. Guess I'd better get those fixed, unless I...

    Wow, many good tidbits. I'm curious...will these places be expecting cash or will they in general accept a credit card? Thank you for the wonderful info. I trust you had a great journey. Laurie

    10 days to Santiago starting Sep 27th

    Hi Vincent. Although I've got no Camihno experience yet, my plan is to leave Porto about the same time as you are and to follow the coastal route as well. My only disappointment now is that the weather appears to be changing - a lot. It looks like the whole country of Portugal will be under rain...

    The July experience of Camino Portuges, Coastal

    Hi again Ella: Oh I understand the internal debates you are having! I encourage you to stay with the coastal route. Everything I've read says it's worth it. And that the signs will keep trying to pull you East away from the water, so watch out! I have received some wonderful information about...

    _____________________________________________ Hello Ella. I'm so sorry about your husband not being able to go with you as planned. I hope that he's okay. So sorry to be delayed in responding. I just now logged in and saw your post! Wouldn't it be fun to walk together? I should be completed by...

    The July experience of Camino Portuges, Coastal

    Thank you, Miguel. I had to go on the Internet to see what "Eurosport" is! I certainly don't receive that channel on my TV in the States. I suppose come cable packages in the US have it? Anyway, thanks for the "tip". I will see if I can stream it online. Cheers, Laurie

    The July experience of Camino Portuges, Coastal

    Hi Ella! Are you still walking this Fall - the Portuguese Camino? I am, and it would be fascinating to see if we might connect? The Camino is quite new to me, and I'm really going to get my feet wet on this adventure, I suspect! Kind regards, Laurie

    Starting in Porto Aug 10, 2013

    Debbie, how did your walk go? I'm exploring a Camino - the Portuguese route - for the first time this Fall. It will be an adventure, to be certain! I'm wondering how you fared and what tips you have. I very much want the scenery of the coastal route as well. Kindly, Laurie
