A long time before I walked my Camino, I was consoled by my friend when I could not go--that person told me my life was my Camino and I walked it every day. I tried to keep that in mind until I actually walked my Way, with my son this past May. I truly understood, after that walk what my friend...
Hi, I'm sorry, I haven't checked in lately. I don't think you need to join Instagram to look at my photos. My photos are on my phone and I can't figure out how to post on the forum.
I took a bath at Caldas De Reais. It was lovely. For me, it was the little things--like buying a huge box of...
I walked the Coastal Camino Portuguese and I loved it, very much. After Viana, we walked the following stages: Caminha, Oia, Baiona, Vigo and then we caught back up to the inland Camino at Redondela. It was lovely, watching the Coast evolve from sand to rock and from balmy to gusty wind!
Please...
I am using my iPhone with the app maps.me --I downloaded the maps for Portugal and Spain. Although not marked with Camino Routes, I am finding maps.me to be a great resource in addition to looking for the yellow arrows. I am able to verify my location easily and I'm able to track my progress...
I posted a thread earlier asking if there is much road walking when traveling the coastal Camino all the way up--but I think I posted it in the wrong area. Can anyone help me in this thread?
Glad to read that! In looking at the potential route of Guarda, Oia, Baiona and beyond, it appears you were walking down a small coastal road--correct?
Here is a silly question, but one that keeps me up at night--when walking on the beach, how do you know if you've reached a town?
Thanks...
Good to know. I was considering possibly taking the train, if going this way—since the last 100km starts in Tui, this way. Still debating...
What is the ability to get water/food supplies when traveling up from A Guarda, Oia, and Baiona? Looking at google maps, it doesn't show much avails to...
I'm intending to do the same—two questions:
1.How many miles/how long did it take to walk from Caminha to Valenca and what was the route like?
2. Did you book ahead? I'd like to keep my options open and not book ahead, but I recognize that these are coastal towns and they make book up quickly...
I'm trying to decide which way, between the two. Do you have a recommendation? I'll be traveling with my son.
Also, I'm in love with the stamp designs I've been seeing. Would anyone care to share photos of their Portuguese stamps?
