    Valenca to Santiago in 3 days

    It is fully possible to have introspection while walking in 6-7 km/h. The brain does its own work when it doesn’t have to think of what the legs do. And it is also possible to do a full stop and smell the roses. I actually did that on my last camino. I stopped at EVERY rose I saw and smelled it...

    Have you walked CP from Lisbon?

    I did it in 2015 so I can probably answer questions unless they are about current roadwork etc. Do send a DM if you want.

    Porto to Santiago

    How long stages/long time do you want to walk for? I had my first stop after Porto in São Pedro de Rates 39,24 km from Porto a nice albergue with a good shop next doors. But that might be too long for you? I know that a lot of people stop in Vilarinho when they have started in Porto. I used JB:s...

    Best parts of Lisbon to Porto

    Jill's plan sounds really good. Visiting the parts I liked the most between Lisbon and Porto. Skipping the boring parts, genius Jill. The castle in Tomar was really nice. I really loved the walk between Alvaiazere to Ansiao. In the albergue in Alvaiazere I got the most beautiful cello. If...

    This is how I did it in 6 days after walking from Lisbon to Porto but my stages were longer than 35 K thou. If you can do 40's you can break my Day 12 (day 2) in two really short days :-) Day 11 Porto - São Pedro de Rates 39,24 km Stayed at Albergue de Peregrinos - São Pedro de Rates, a nice...

    My stages (and sleeping places) on Caminho Portugues

    I have my own computer but 3 people (the kids and their father) playing online games here and they do not like it when I hog all of the network for picture upload. In the meanwhile you have all my mobile pics at https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipMjdrNix2hJ74yHv4SN1mSYCpctHIpzLnVXYg8 but...

    Aha Good luck! One day the pics will be added as well. Found the pictures on my hard drive so now I just have to add them to the online gallery when the kids aren't playing online games.

    My stages (and sleeping places) on Caminho Portugues

    Lisboa-Porto isn't the most beautiful part but I had some great days there as well.

    Casa Fernanda

    Have a lovely holiday and a happy new year! The albergue was full when I passed after coming from São Pedro de Rates but I got new cold water and some fruit before I left and I made it to Ponte de Lima. Thank you for your kindness Fernanda!

    HELP: Forgot my guide at Café Bar Bendaña in Santiago

    Thanks for looking anyway. Guess I will have to order a new one as I need it as support to fill in the blanks in my blog. I just wish I had that email address :-(

    LIVE from the Camino Caldas the Reis destroyed my camino (almost)

    But you are missing the point with my post. I don't want to use pension, walk another way etc... that the whole essence of what i wrote. So why should I go somewhere else. Then I can stay home in Sweden and hike the mountains here instead. It will give me as much camino experience as taking...

    LIVE from the Camino Caldas the Reis destroyed my camino (almost)

    On CP there aren't many options for places to stay on the last 100. Caldas de Reis in 43,68 km from Santiago and you have Padrón after 18 km and then Faramello and Teo at 28 or so (don't have my guidebook so I can't check) and I knew that some would go to Padrón and some to the other places. Of...

    LIVE from the Camino Caldas the Reis destroyed my camino (almost)

    The crowd on the road it self is easy to avoid. I just pass them in the morning. I walk alone more or less even on the last 100 after the first hour or so. Then you are the first to reach the bars as well :-)

    LIVE from the Camino Caldas the Reis destroyed my camino (almost)

    Went to the doctor today and found out that my Hb value was 72. When the values are low I get very tired and is easily irritated. Maybe that is one reason why I reacted as I did.
