    Taxis to Tui

    Have a drink or a bite while passing through the fort and get your credencial stamped as well.

    Porto -place to buy poles?

    I bought good poles at a Porto Decathlon last June before I started my walk. They were just as light and less expensive than what I usually walk with at home. ¡Buen Camino!

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino: beginning in Valença

    I did the same route last July, I am sure you will enjoy it immensely. I recommend staying at the Mosteiro de Santa María da Armenteira. Don't forget to have your credencial stamped in Valença before crossing the bridge.

    Tui or Valença?

    Thanks for the tips. I walked from Lisboa last October and had planned to go by way of the Spiritual Variant, but my Camino friends had a time limitation so I passed it by. This year I have a Rick Steves tour of Portugal that ends in Porto. From there I will take the train or bus to Valença in...

    COVID Porto Update?

    I had rescheduled last April's CP from Lisbon to March 2021. Now I have rescheduled to mid September 2021. On the bright side that gives me more time to study Portuguese and Spanish. Buen Camino!

    CP from Lisbon - Sep 2020

    I will enjoy your Camino very much. I was just days from leaving for Lisbon last March when the lockdown happened here in California. Such a long first day can be daunting, but you seem to have good spirits and attitudes of acceptance to overcome the adversities. Be Well and Buen Caminho

    Shorter stages (up to 25km) from Lisbon

    I will be walking from Lisbon next April 1 to Santiago. My 2 week shift at the Pilgrim House starts on May 1, so 25 km per day works very well for me. At that pace I think I would be able to stay over in Coimbra and Porto an extra night and possibly other places as well.

    Albergue situation from Lisbon

    I have been doing so much reading and research about the CP that I am nearly on overload. I read somewhere on the forum about an office of tourism or the like near the Lisbon Cathedral not a Pilgrim Office as in St Jean or Santiago. The Via Lusitana website says: You can get the Pilgrim's...

    Albergue situation from Lisbon

    I hope to pick up a Portuguese credential at the Cathedral in Lisbon or la igreja de Santiago or the Pilgrim's office. One of them has to be open on the day before I start. I will be staying a little north of the Igreja and the cathedral so it won't be out of my way to visit both on the start...
