  1. La Rubia

    Growing numbers on the Camino Portugues?

    Last January Spain was still pretty tough to get into (tail end of Delta/beginnings of Omicron). I was with friends near the border (I live in Portugal) and just going to lunch in Spain we had to show our residency cards and vaccine proof.

    Credencial stamp Location

    We got ours on a Sunday afternoon at the Se in Lisbon - didn't realize that the cathedral's loja (store) would be closed, but asked and a kindly gentleman unlocked the drawer and stamped our credencials.

    From Santiago to Lisbon

    Actually, the first part is easy - follow the blue arrows towards Fatima (yellow arrows will be pointing to Santiago as you go). You can go all the way to Fatima and then figure out how get yourself back on the Portuguese, or continue following the yellow arrows backwards one the two paths...

    Lisbon: where to find poles and shells

    You can get a shell at the cathedral gift shop (and a passport, and get it stamped!). Besides Decathalon, El Corte Ingles has a good sporting goods section - a friend of mine just got her sticks there.

    PeregrinaLX bar in Lisbon

    Adding it to my list! We're moving to Sao Joao do Estoril as soon as we get our D7 visas, so we'll be in Lisboa frequently!

    Help with beautiful spots for making a proposal (of marriage!)

    Muxia, out on the rocks...

    Two questions

    "But, I do know that, in general, the reasons for the rules becoming more restrictive is the ongoing 'cat and mouse' game between the growing number of slackers who seem to make a game out of trying to cheat the system to gain a Compostela through any means possible, and the staff, trying to...

    If you have done both the CP and the CF...

    I finished Baiona to Santiago on August 31st. Loved walking through the eucalyptus forests and vineyards, hated Vigo, and the entire thing was hotter than I expected, and I was prepared for warm weather. Very few peregrinos until I met up with the Central at Redondela, but I enjoyed the solitude.

    Pilgrim Passport from another country

    I walked with the APOC passport for my first Camino, then with the one from Ivar for my 2nd. For my third - Portuguese in late August - I'm thinking of either the Canadian (my husband is Canadian, and he is my roadie) or Irish (to honor my roots). Is that too weird? Does anyone do that?

    Live from the Portugues

    Loving this thread - cannot wait for the last installments. Planning a 2018 coastal Portugues.

    Central route (I think?)

    Tim, thanks for these most excellent updates. I'm planning to do the Portuguese in 2018 or 2019, so I'm bookmarking your notes!

    Coastal route or inland route from Porto?

    Is there a guidebook you would recommend rather that Brierley? I'm not planning to do the Portuguese for a couple of years, but since a girl can dream, I'm already reading up on it. Definitely planning the Coastal, fwiw.
