    Is the full Portuguese Camino doable in 3 weeks?

    For Sale/Wanted Albergue or house for sale along the Camino Portuguese?

    Look at Alojamento Local Ninho. It's a nice albergue, made of stone. When I stayed there in October 2021, the owner told me she wanted to sell.

    Camino Portugues

    Thinking of changing my plans and start from Lisbon in the 2nd week to mid October. Anyone walk the Portugese during that season? I've only done Caminos in the springtime. What to expect?
