    Camino for someone who is unable to walk a lot. Is it possible?

    I walked the Portuguese Camino in 2017 with my wife, who has challenged with her knees. There were a couple of days when we needed to call taxis (because of distance or elevation) and we just went into bars or restaurants and asked them to phone for the taxi. We usually had lunch or coffee while...

    Toilet Availability

    It seems like even best efforts to dig a shallow hole doesn't solve the disposal problem as the Camino is littered with TP! I agree that everyone should have a small plastic bag and take their TP to a garbage in the same way that you would if they were camping. It would make the path for...

    Live from the Portugues

    This is great reading and I hope you continue writing throughout your camino! I'm adding lots of notes in my Brierley book to help while we're on that leg of the camino. We are starting the "new-fanged-start-in Lisbon" route in early May so I expect we won't be in Porto until late in the...

    2017 Brierly Guide CP

    Thanks for the replies; I ordered the Brierly book (the 2016 edition available through Indigo.ca right now). I'm also reading the blogs that have great information on this route and really excited to do our second camino! Happy New Year to everyone!

The description of Brierley's book suggests that it is for the central route and we'd really like to do the coastal route. Am I wrong about that? I'm not sure if I should buy Brierely's guide or use two guides? Is...

    We are planning to walk the Camino Portuguese in 2017 but unsure if weather, especially precipitation, is better in May or September. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks,

    Portuguese Camino... concrete all the way?

    We are planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto to Santiago next fall but I've just heard that the Portuguese route is primarily on roads/highways? I am just starting to do some reading on this route but wonder if anyone can share their experience? Thanks,

    Portuguese Caminho September 2014

    Thanks for all the detail in your blog. The pictures of the people you met were great and the information was useful as we are planning to walk September 2014 and considering whether to do portugese or the frances route. One big consideration is the terrain - it sounds like the portugese route...
