    Porto to Santiago

    Will I Be Disappointed?

    I walked the French Way in 2016 from St Jean PdeP, and the Portugal Way from Lisbon in 2017. Both were rewarding on different levels. The Porto Way I did was basically all along the Atlantic Seaboard, on Boardwalk, very sunny, little shade. Many many ancient fishing villages. The Portuguese...

    How empty is the Lisbon section?

    I walked from the Se Cathedral in May 2017, and as I recall, the Way was marked from there, out of town?

    How empty is the Lisbon section?

    I walked from Lisbon starting May 2017. From Lisbon to Porto the Pilgrims were few and far between. The Coastal route is amazing. Boardwalk for 90% of the way. Careful to watch the signs going through Santerim, I missed a post and got off track abit. Enjoy. Buen Camino.

    Lisbon to Santiago... What not to miss?

    I will be enjoying the Lisbon to Santiago Route in May 2017. I have walked the French way and found that there were many water fountains with potable water for most of the trek. Are there plenty of water fountains available on this route?
