    Train Lisbon to Porto?

    Hi Lmsundaze. We did just that last year. Booked the "big train" tickets in advance. From memory I think we used the Loco2 website. Try looking on Seat61.com for advice. From the airport to the train station we bought a ticket on the day at a platform machine. Easy enough. However, the train...

    Two weeks till potential departure...and barely prepared!

    The hardest part is getting to the start. After that it's just one foot in front of the other. The chap I walked through Portugal with arranged for us to stay over at his dad's house in Warrington the night before we flew out of Manchester. We drove down after work. When we arrived he asked...

    Wondering if our next camino is Portugues...?

    Walked from Porto to Santiago after the Frances. A lot quieter but lovely people. A lot easier to organise a short walk as well Bom Caminho

    Portuguese Restaurants - beware of Extras

    Only once in Portugal were we offered a tapas like starter that we were expected to pay for. There was so much of it that you couldn't possibly have thought it was for free and the waitress made it clear we would be charged for it. It was an excellent assortment of meat cheese and bread. That...

    Is the camino portuegese well signed

    From Porto onwards not only did we have excellent arrows to point us on the right way, we also found large "X"s if we drifted onto the wrong route. Brilliant idea.

    Safety from lisbon-sdc for 19 yr old female

    No they're not. They're unbelievably friendly. Most of the young people spoke English. We even had one lady close up her shop and walk us to the laundrette we were trying to find. I only walked from Porto so I can't comment on the earlier section. Bom Caminho

    Holy Door (Porta Santa) in the Cathedral of Lisbon

    Have a look at www.im.va. On here you can register and request a reservation for a pilgrimage to the Holy Door in St. Peter's Basilica. There seems to be new information each day regarding the jubilee.

    Starting in Porto tomorrow need advice!

    What a great little place this was on a wet and rainy day. However, when I asked for a cafe con Baileys, to warm myself along, there was no Baileys to be had. Instead I was offered and accepted a shot of something white from an unlabelled bottle. Ay Caramba. There's a potted plant that will...

    Starting in Porto tomorrow need advice!

    ...and there's the fantastic Lello&Irmao bookshop. A €3 charge to get in but that's redeemable against any purchase. Upstairs,on the left and by the front window they had the Brierley guide and the quirky little guide which has a shell on the front and a hole punched through the book.

    Camino from Porto - October 2015 - Tips welcome

    Hi Kdbing Albertinho has some great information posted. Having just got back I can say that the way by the river at O Porrino is clearly marked at the moment. The best advice I got from the forum was to always keep the river on your right hand side and don't cross it until you come to the...

    Starting from porto on the central route sat 26th September

    We walked to Pontefract de Lima today. Much cooler than yesterday and nice walking. However, I can see a big blister forming under the ball of my left foot Tomorrow is a shorter day, so let's wait and see what that brings. Simon, I seem to have hijacked your thread. Apologies

    Starting from porto on the central route sat 26th September

    Hi Albertinho It was your vid that has got me hooked on the boat trip, so I'll send the doctors bill to you ! You're right, sailing is hard work. I had a sailing trip booked for three weeks after I got back from Santiago. I felt as fit as I had done for years. We picked the boat up from The Isle...

    Starting from porto on the central route sat 26th September

    Stephen, I think never might be nearer the mark for me ! Simeon, can I ask are you thinking of doing the Variante Espiritual ? If we have enough time I would really like to take this diversion. At the moment it's all rather hypothetical as I'm having problems with my back, so it may just be a...

    Starting from porto on the central route sat 26th September

    Hi Hi Simeon I'm arriving in Porto on the 26th and will start walking on the 28th. As an elite athlete in peak condition I should easily catch up with you and pass you....... oh no, hang on, that was thirty years ago. I guess you're always going to be two days ahead of me. Ah well. Bom Caminho
