    One last thing; I think I am going to keep a blog. Nothing there yet but it will be at https://caminoportugues2.blogspot.ca/

    Porto to Fatima

    We wear the vests just over our shirts. We walk always on the left of the road so we can see the cars coming towards us so they will see the front of the vest. It does not matter if the back of the vest is covered by the backpack. I think we walked about the same than you two years ago...

    Porto to Fatima

    We need short stages because I am old so we started with 15 km or less. There is no question that we had urban walking and road walking but we saw that as part of our Caminho. Very different indeed than the Camino Frances. We used tricks like the first day we walked from the Cathedral, la Se...

We want to visit the shrine of Our Lady and then take a bus to Tomar and start our pligrimage in Tomar. I just need advice on the best way to get from Porto to Fatima. I know there...

    First Camino Advice Please

    Starting in Fatima you have close to 500 Km, if you want to do that in 10 days it is 50Km a day. I would not recommend that even if you are a fast walker. If you start in Porto you have around 240 km, 24 km a day is doable. Think about it.

    Back from Camino Portugues

    El Camino Portugues does not go by Fatima. You can follow the trail to Fatima from Santarem or from Tomar and then return to EL CAminode Santiago or you can take a bus from either city to Fatima and return to el Camino.
