    Trip Report: Senda/Coastal from Porto 4/1 to 4/13/2022

    You'll have wet feet, but that's ok. They'd be wet even with waterproof shoes. Once at your lodging, pull out your insoles and stuff newspaper into your shoes. They'll be dry enough for the next day. You don't need a pack cover or a rain jacket if you're wearing a poncho, so leave those at home...

    Trip Report: Senda/Coastal from Porto 4/1 to 4/13/2022

    I didn't track elevation (although I think the camino ninja app estimated them for based on daily stages). The route we took seemed to me pretty flat for 85% of it. A day or 2 had what I would call "hills" but nothing grueling. There was one day (coming into Viana do Castelo I believe) where...

    hi Indy - It's the Sea to Summit Traveller Down Sleeping Bag. It is a mummy bag that unzips into a blanket, so really versatile and lightweight. www.seatosummit.com.

    Oops, noticed my daily average number is in miles, not kilometers! We averaged 20 kms (12 miles) per day. (note: correction was made to original post)

    Trip Report: Senda/Coastal from Porto 4/1 to 4/13/2022

    Greetings! I walked the Portuguese Camino from Porto (taking the Senda Litoral, Coastal, and Central routes) from April 1 to April 13. This was my first Camino, and it was so wonderful. I wanted to post this trip report in case some details help others in planning their spring trips. I walked...
