    Terrain on Portuguese Camino

    I did the central.

    Time for change

    If possible, perhaps you might try a spring hike. I hiked CF in May, 2014 and the Portuguese route in May, 2016. No crowds on the Camino nor in Santiago and the weather was great.

    Very dissilusioned. Can't wait to finish

    Too bad about your experience. I did Porto to Santiago in May and it was great. I wouldn’t even consider going later in the summer for the very reasons that caused your dissatisfaction.

    pack transfer

    Yes. Tuitrans is great used it periodically from Porto to Santiago in May, 2016. It is also connected to a decent Albergue in Tui.

    From Porto

    Sorry. I meant to say Sorry. I meant to say about 900 feet. The metric conversion threw me. However, I stand by the rest of my comments. Bom Camino.

    From Porto

    Alto de Portela Grande (spell) lies between Ponte de Lima and Rubias. It requires a climb of about 900 meters. Otherwise there not any significant climbs between Porto and Santiago. I did the inland route last May and had no problems and I am 71 years old. There are plenty of lodgings along the...

    Help! Luggage from Porto to Redondela

    I used Tuitrans a year ago and they were efficient and reasonably priced.

    Wondering if our next camino is Portugues...?

    Be sure to call ahead and reserve a spot at Casa Fernanda. It is not to be missed.

    Wondering if our next camino is Portugues...?

    Did Porto to Santiago last May. Loved it. Bom Camino.

    camino portuguese from Porto

    Just did that route last May. I suggest that you take a short train ride to the outskirts of Porto and walk from there. Bom Camino.

    Best route for a first timer

    I've done parts of both the French route-from Leon (May, 2014) and inland Portuguese route-from Porto (May, 2016). The inland Portuguese is more laid back than the French route. I walked solo, but did plenty of walking with new found friends from many countries. Most often stayed in albergues...

    Fernanda and her 'Casa da Fernanda'

    I left about 25€ for that reason plus for the ambiance and service. I hope those that can afford to pay do so.

    Storing of baggage in Porto

    Good luck. Bom Camino.

    Booking Casa da Fernanda

    I stayed there last May and agree that you should make it a priority and definately call ahead and reserve a space. It was the only place that I encountered that was filled to overflow. She allowed two late arrivals to sleep on her porch.

    Storing of baggage in Porto

    I stayed at Hotel Poievera (spell) last May and left my bag there while I hiked the Camino. I was not charged for the service. It is right across the street from the train station with several bars/cafes nearby. The owners were very friendly and helpful. When I returned, they had some late...
