    SDCompostella to Porto.....can anyone please advise...I am considering walking from SDCompostella to Porto

    Earlier this year I downloaded the app 'maps.me' for my Madrid/Salvador/Primitivo Combo. Not only does it show where you are in relation to the Camino, it also shows local tracks which enabled me to take shortcuts or excursions to see other features not on the camino track. Believe me, I am an...

    One Small Step(Several Large Wines!)

    Any advice on what might catch us out would be great though. I had a wonderful walk from Lisbon to Santiago in May 2017 - flatter than many other Caminos, but OMG the cobblestones are a killer if you are wearing zero-drop shoes (Altra Lone Peak 3.5). If ever I repeated the journey then I'd...

    Unknown pilgrims you walked with

    Agree...…..what occurs on Camino, stays on Camino! ;)

    Have you walked CP from Lisbon?

    Hiya Andy, I did it in June 2017 - feel free to PM me. Cheers Davie

    Accommodation in Lisbon

    I stayed in Lisbon for a couple of days end of May 2017. Found the room on Airbnb, (most useful when Albergues were not available in Portugal). I did not keep details but stayed in Alfama a couple of streets up from the Apolina Rail Station. Great landlady called Fatima, the room was clean &...

    Trains on Camino Portuguese

    Welcome Mormon, all the trains I saw heading north in June were almost empty - really no need to pre-book. Bom Caminho Davie

    Dreamy Portuguese Pictures- want to spend your day dreaming all things Camino

    Thanks for posting this link. The photo's are some of the best I've seen of the Frances and the 10 minute video of Lee's presentation is very inspiring (I'm cleaning my paintbrushes as I post) :D

    Where to place my rock?

    Here you go Coleen, but be careful of the shipping! :oops: Bom Caminho

    Starting point from Lisbon?

    I used the Metro to get out of Lisboa in June - but that was to escape a mad Priest and his accompanying Handmaiden (but that's another story) :eek: When I go again I will walk the whole way - but be a bit easier with myself on the mileage, particularly on day one! Here's a pic of the first...

    Sleeping Bag or liner

    Although I walked from Lisbon in June this year, I can confirm each Albergue had a ready supply of blankets. Most nights I only used my liner. Bom Caminho Davie

    First Time! Which path to take

    Welcome to the forum Ms Village. I completed the Lisbon to Santiago Camino in June and found the signage pretty good. There are certain days where you'll need to be fully awake as the yellow arrows stop and you need to follow electric pylons between villages. However the latest Breirley Guide...

    Done with Camino del Norte&Portuguese

    Thanks SEB, I've noted Casa Fernanda on my Brierley and look forward to the 'Fire Water Challenge'. :D I have given great thought to your comments regarding Albarino. Now the background to this is that my personality changes depending on the colour of liquid I imbibe. When drinking Red Wine I...

    Done with Camino del Norte&Portuguese

    Totally with you on this SEB, but it is a pure medical requirement for me to drink Rioja :D I'm kicking off from Lisbon on 2 June, which reds are worth targeting to break my dependence?

    Done with Camino del Norte&Portuguese

    It can be an anti-climax Jinwoo. I always find that a trip to the restaurant at the corner of the Cathedral steps and ask for a glass of Rioja and a slab of Santiago cake always improves the experience immeasurably. Congratulations on your dual camino. Davie

    Walking sticks on the Portuguese

    The 'Camino Technical Term' for this condition is 'Mickey Mouse Hands'. Which for me paints a realistic picture :D

    Two weeks till potential departure...and barely prepared!

    LorneB, You seem to be in a good place! I have my flight booked and a bed for 2 nights in Lisbon starting 29 May. I have my kit washed from last year and a new pair of sandals. I may start reading my John Breirley soon (well, look at the pics). Last year I walked east to west, this year I walk...

    Preparations & Palpitations....Prior to Portugal

    Gerard, hope you'll be blogging your tales as you make your way! I'll be following you from Lisbon in June. Buen Camino Davie

    Arrows in the Caminho de Santiago and Caminho de Fátima.

    Great info.....thanks! ''To avoid getting lost, don't invent routes''. I wish I'd heard this last year when I invented a route between Muxia and Finisterre. :eek:

    Footwear

    Welcome Ian and Mec, I can't answer your question specifically as I am not due out of Lisbon until 2 June. However, I've bought sandals as back-up to my Keen Walking shoes due to the reported amount of Tarmac. The minimal extra weight I will bear. Buen Camino
