Hi everyone
Does anyone know if the albergues are closed at this time of the year between Lisbon and Porto?
I have walked from Porto to SdC therefore I choose now the sectio from Lisbon to Porto but I have seen many posts where everyone recommended Porto to SdC. Can someone tell me why that is...
Yes u can, I did it. U start early and finish after a proper 8 hour walk. I walked around 35km.
I didn't walk fast coz of time pressure but because I walk fast.
It is all about the walking u shouldnt bother to much abt reaching Santiago.
Enjoy
Interestingly I thought the same last year at the end- and for the last months I was trying to think of an alternative route. And somehow I end up with the CP again- happily!
Btw regarding marking- I only used the guide between Villa de Condo onwards 10k then the arrows appear again. I cannot compare to CF but I found it sufficient.
Hi Mike
I've finished as well my first CP 2 weeks ago.
Ur packing list I think is enough whatever u miss u can provide on ur way.
Ur route seems to be ok. I usually was done with my planned routes- 24k average- at 2pm and simply moved on. I don't think 30k is too much if u enjoy walking...
Hi Rachel
Thank you so much for your response. I have found myself as well being more on this forum post camino.
I have been asked why the Camino feels so different then regular hiking. I don't know...why did I wander in the Swiss Alps for years but never felt this touched, moved? I always did...
Martha it is horrible right? I mean I did not walk a month it was just ten days. I am sitting in the office and just thinking 'Hang on this is the wrong place to be!' And suddenly I have this overwhelming feeling that I carry a arrow in me...such an odd thing. I was not prepared for post...
