    Starting the quest

    You have nothing to consider as hampering you walking the Way...when you choose. My earliest plan (COVID as a consideration) is to walk from Saint Jean Pied de Port in late August 2021 and failing that, the same Camino Frances in April 2022.. I expect it to take about 45 days. Very pumped!

    Starting the quest

    I've done five (CF3, CP, and CI). Each was different and the same. I am 76 this year and consider my next Camino the added candle on the cake. I've no doubt you will pack up and move out when the time is right. If we meet on the Way, I'm sure we will bore the heck out of the fellow pilgrims as...

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

    There are times on the Camino when access to a taxi becomes a necessity. Here are a few I personally used: 1. After my fall on the rocks exciting the Alto de Perdon in a storm, my knee was damaged and the sand/dirt at the bottom turned to mud. I made it to the next hard surfaced road and...there...

    Tui to Santiago

    Caldas de Reis gets my vote. That early in the season the albergue may be clearly visible on your left as you cross the Roman Bridge. Be aware that the warm water foot spa just prior to the bridge will be pleasantly warm for your feet but a pain in your bum should you slip as you enter. Been...

    1st stage out of Porto

    Interior...case da Fernanda...not to be missed!

    Coastal or Central, for best scenery?

    I like the interior. That said, it's directly connected to a visit to the Casa da Fernanda. IMHO.

    Walking to Santiago from Porto

    Albertinho, You are correct. I didn’t realize there were three routes: the costa ( along the Atlantic), the Central and interior route. Thank you Arn

    Hi, I stayed at the TuiHostal. It’s just down from the albergue municipal. It was here I found that you get tapas with every beer...fantastico!!

    Portuguese Central Camino

    Interior route...12 Days. Closely follows Roman roads...many still rural and beautiful. Others now paved over and fast moving traffic a concern at times. All that...very doable at a moderate pace. Buen Camino Arn

    Booking Casa da Fernanda

    During my stay in 2010, I limped in from Barcelos. no one was home. I went to the garden area and saw a sign...Pick a bed! Apparently, the night before, there was quite the party. There were many empty bottles (wine/beer) in abundance...so I cleaned up the area and settled in. Jacinto arrived a...

    Cotton Shirts for the Coastal Portugues Camino?

    I was thinking (yes know AL: Arn and thinking is an oxymoron ), hey, I think I have a Marino wool T-shirt in my summer gear I took to Calif two years ago. Out to the barn, into the duffel bag...out with the gear. Birkenstock's, a gift I wore one week. USC ball caps and, em moth eaten...
