    From Lisabon to Santiago

    Hi Katia, You will be almost absolutely alone until the Spanish border. From there, not crowds but also no loneliness. Have you already got a guide for this camino in portuguese? Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    Anyone been on (or is on) Camino Portugues?

    Not big crowds, but in my opinion to avoid it try the new albergues. Herbon (beside Padron) it's being a quiet one during the whole summer. Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    Bus from Santiago to Tui?

    Hi, There's not direct bus connection between Santiago and Tui. The best connection is Santiago-Vigo and Vigo-Tui. But, I would suggest if possible by train, even with the same connection in Vigo, because by bus is a very long trip. Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain

    Lisboa vs Porto

    Yes Maria, absolutely well marked. Alex Rato was studying all the paths during years, talking with responsibles and old people in little towns, lots of weekends, cups of coffee taken in many little places, and after that and with all his documentation, the Galician Association painted the whole...

    Porto to Santiago in a Week

    In my first Camino Portugues six years ago, from Barcelos, it took me 6 days. I double two of these, because I walked in one day Ponte de Lima-Tui and Redondela-Caldas. But, less than 8 days from Porto looks to be difficult, because there's not enough places to stop. But, eight days is easy to...

    Hello, I've walked the Camino Portuguese several years ago on february and climate was quite warm for the supposed one. As the sea is close to the Camino, the weather never is too hard. But, may be very wet and rainy. Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    starting in barcelos to finisterre

    Hi, In Barcelos i'm not sure but in Ponte de Lima there's a good albergue, just passed the "Ponte" on your right. And, when you are in Tui, ask to the albergues if the next is opened. For example, in the Porriño's albergue you have to go to the Police Station to take the key. In Mos you have to...

    Algarve to Santiago on a bike

    Hello, Paulro. Is it possible? Of course, believe me. Are there any albergues? Only after Porto. If possible, try to obtain your credential before beginning your Camino. After that, to obtain your carimbos, look four the bombeiros, even to find a bed. If you need something else, please tell...

    Long way from Barcellos

    Uffff, 13 kg... When my first Camino I carried 13 kg. It was heavy, heavy to carry, even for me, then I was 31 and my weight was about 80 kg. Now I've walked with my daughter, of course I've carried all our packpack, and it's been about 11 kg. Easy to carry for me, but I'm used to do that...

    Camino Portuguese in July

    It wil be great to walk with you!! Hopefully I will begin walking from Valenca about the 9th or 10th with my daughter, so I suppose it will take to us about 9-10 days. Why only un rato corto? El Camino de los trovadores es fantástico... Before and after that, I will be during a few days in...

    Camino Portuguese in July

    Absolutely possible. I walked from Barcelos in 6 days in winter 2004. Faster than normal but, from Porto is about 240 km, it shouldn't be difficult to walk it in 10 days. Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.
