    Porto Highlights?

    Made it to Casa da Guitarra. Indeed there were beautiful instruments to be found.

    Porto Highlights?

    It would be nice to buy a guitar, or some other string instrument as a souvenir of Portugal, but I'm flying United.

    Porto Highlights?

    I'll be in Porto in late April. I've been to Porto three times in the past and one of the things I LOVE the most are the Tunas, the University Student singing groups. On two occasions I have been lucky enough to run across their performances and the recordings I made with my camera I still...

    Are there enough Albergues from the Porto to Santiago?

    The only time I had any problem between Porto and Santiago was in Redondela, there was no room in the albergue. But in just a few minutes three of us found an apartment to share just a few yards away. I think they are prepared for the overflow.

    Why am I having 2nd thoughts about CP

    My first camino was from Porto to Santiago. It is one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Rarely does a day go by that I don't think of it and smile.

    Portuguese Restaurants - beware of Extras

    Amen Some of the most memorable restaurant experiences I've ever had have been in Portugal . . . . . at a VERY reasonable price.

    Great reasons to start in Lisbon

    I have been debating whether to visit Porto again after the end of my next Camino. The debate is over.

    Barcelos to Ponte de Lima is indeed a bit of a slog.

    Self-guided tour support companies

    That's where my suggestion of Marly Tours would come in nicely. In April the six of us had a guide and a chase vehicle to take us to our casa rurals, and for some to ride when the walking was too much. When I went back with my nephew in June, I ran into the chase vehicle driver (but no guide)...

    You might try http://marlycamino.com/ A group of us used them this past April on the CF and found them to be wonderful. Their Portugues Novo package tour http://marlycamino.com/camino/portugal/ might not be what you want, but you could contact them and see if they could do a custom...

    Texas to Porto to Santiago

    I'm glad you enjoyed. The Camino Portuguese is indeed special and different from the CF.

    The shell?

    Last year I got a scallop shell as I left SJPdP. By Larrasoana, I was so tired to hearing it banging around while trying to put everything in my pack, I left it there in the albergue. Later that day, a man who had been in the same room with me saw me and gave it to me saying "you left this at...

    Five hours in Porto - what to do, see, eat and drink?

    Thank you. I am grateful for your help and knowledge.

    Five hours in Porto - what to do, see, eat and drink?

    Thanks for the responses. I have been as far as Pinhao since Folgosa was only 2 or 3 miles before it. I don't think we'll be wanting to actually stay overnight up the valley, since we'll only be in Porto for a couple of days and then traveling on down to Lisbon for the remainder of our...
