    Walking sticks Shop in Porto?

    Tip- Learn how to properly use the wrist straps. The correct way is to insert the hand from below the loop, then grasp the whole strap and handle of the walking pole. This way, you can use the straps to push off, especially on inclines and downhill, without having to hold the handle. This will...

    Great plan! We were in SdC for only one night in 2016 so we stayed 4 nights in 2019, as there were just too many things to see and do in Santiago that we missed the first time! Museums, churches, parks, streets, food (we did a Tapas Tour that was extraordinary!) and a trip out to Finisterre...

    A couple more suggestions, as I think I overlooked some of your questions. You asked about booking with a company. We used Caminoways.com for both our Caminos. A very reputable company. Check them out, as their website is full of information about the route as well as other useful resources. You...

    The coastal route is wonderful as there are few hills and the vistas and villages are wonderful. My wife and I (we are 62) just completed the Porto to Santiago route in October, and it was wonderful (our second Camino, 1st was Frances). We did book our accommodation ahead and knew where we...

    A swift return (and a Metro question)

    Two suggestions- get your Credencial stamped at the Cathedral in Porto while you are there. Also, there’s a St James’s Anglican Church in Porto well worth the visit. The St James window is quite stunning. We attended the Thursday Eucharist and they were so very welcoming! They have a Pilgrim‘s...

    QUESTION: Any Great CP Coastal Route Suggestions (accommodations, food, sites, etc.)?

    Wor Worn them maybe 4 times on 3-5 km walks and they feel great! Tried different socks in them each time to see which pair will give the most comfortable walking. All seem good! I’m set to go in 3 weeks! Yes- Columbia Montrail FKT Rogue...

    QUESTION: Any Great CP Coastal Route Suggestions (accommodations, food, sites, etc.)?

    Took your advice and bought a new pair up high tech, very lightweight trail runners that were on sale from Columbia. I noticed that they were on sale at the Columbia online store, but since there’s a Columbia outlet west of Toronto that I pass by regularly, I was able to try a pair on and save...

    Transportation suggestions Redondela to SdC

    We are walking the Coastal route this September from Porto and have only enough time to get as far as Redondela but want to spend a few nights in SdC since we only spent 1 night there after the CF in 2016. What’s the best way to quickly get from Redondela to SdC? Train, bus, taxi? Any...

    Think Portuguese Coastal this Fall

    I see the above threads are from last year. We just booked to go mid Sept 2019. TAP had flights from Toronto to Porto for under $CAD 600 which would be pretty cheap in $US! You just have to get to Toronto! TAP, Air Canada and Air Transat (the latter two are Canadian airlines) fly direct to Porto...
