We did the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon in 2019 and there was no bag transport on our stages between Lisbon and Porto. We ended up posting our bag a week ahead at a time to Tomar, then Coinbra and finally to Porto. It meant carrying everything for a week at a time. It worked for us.
Some good advice above, especially about taking a companion. We walked from Lisbon two years ago and were careful when leaving the city, even as a couple (in our mid 60s). I think the walk from the cathedral to the bridge at Sacavém along the river is well worth while, and we always felt safe...
Hi Yamadons, I enjoyed your reflections. Having walked the CP earlier in the year (2019), I would endorse your use of the Wise Pilgrim App. It saved our bacon a number of times and is very simple to use. Thanks.
