    LIVE from the Camino Living on the Camino today

    Reading your post made me very sad.I remember the days walking the Portuguese Camino from Lisboa with great fondness. The Portuguese people was so kind and friendly. It was a lonely walk in 2014 but I did not feel alone because I was met with kindness and smiles every day. May this crisis soon...

    Warning!!

    So did I! It is common sense never to let your credit cards out of your sight! Just like you do not use an ATM when the banks are closed. And always pay in cash.

    Camino Portugues Cost

    I walked out of Lissabon in 2014 and as there were not that many albergues, I sleept in small pensions. It was nice having my own room but it was more expensive (15 - 20 euro a night) After Porto I spend the nights in albergues and as I remember the price was the same as in Spain. I found that...

    sleeping bag in june on camino Portuguese

    Hi Faye, I did use my sleepingbag while walking the CP in July 2014 since I'm not so comfortable using the blankets the albergues offer. The Portuguese people were saying the weather was not very good and it was not as warm as I expected. In the evenings it would cool down and I would wear long...

    Solo female on Camino Portugal

    Hi Megan, I started my camino in front of the Cathedral in Lisbon and on that day, there was a religious event going on in the Cathedral with a lot of flowers on the stairs in front of the Cathedral, right where the first arrow was. My guidebook told me to go to the right around the Cathedral...

    Tui - Redondela Stage: Careful when walking across the river!

    The poor woman, how terrible to be in the water wearing a heavy backpack. I hope she is well and was able to continue her camino. And thank God for the Civil Guardia officier being there at that time! He is a hero!

    Lisbon to Porto (some very personal observations)

    Your post reminded me of the beautiful walk I had on the CP a year ago. And you are right, the Portugese people are the nicest in the Universe. And on my own account I must say the Pastis Nata is the best cake in the Universe - together with a coffee con leche. Oh, I do miss the CP, such a...

    Camino Portuges vs. Camino Ingles

    Albertinho is right but I must add that the Ingles is very beautiful in spite of the hills. I walked it during Easter and one morning I walked out of Pontedeume and up in the hills and I walked above the clouds that covered a valley. It was a moment of beauty. And hills are good! And there is...
