Suggestions from Lisbon
Anecdotally, I’ve heard repeatedly that the walk from Lisbon isn’t great: long stretches between places to stop and a fair bit of beside the road walking. Contrast that with Porto: start in Matosinhos and Day 1 is oceanside on mostly boardwalks. At Vila do Conde, opt for the route toward...- Maple Leaf Walker

Pilgrim Menus/Menu Del Dia in Portugal?
I don’t disagree that it’s a pretty view by the river. But I’d no luck finding that grocery store, except one that was a few km off the line. Everyone’s camino is different of course.- Maple Leaf Walker

Pilgrim Menus/Menu Del Dia in Portugal?
Except Ponte de Lima. I try to not stop there anymore: too many tourist traps.- Maple Leaf Walker

Pilgrim Menus/Menu Del Dia in Portugal?
I can only comment on the route from Porto, but in my experience, the food is excellent.

Casa Fernanda?
I don’t think she does. I called direct. Best time to reach her is after 10am (her time) and before 2pm when the next batch of pilgrims arrive. Her number is in a few threads here.- Maple Leaf Walker

Casa Fernanda?
A few thoughts from someone who has stayed there twice (including just about a week ago) and will again: - most of us are introverts and that’s ok. - sometimes it’s good to do something that makes us a little uncomfortable. - a little bit of singing after dinner is a good way to digest that...- Maple Leaf Walker

10 extra days after reaching Santiago: where next
I’m doing my third Camino this summer. This time, it’s the CP from Porto to Santiago. At my pace, I expect to have up to 10 extra days to use up after reaching Santiago. So I’m weighing my options on what to do next. Two choices so far: walk on to Muxia (I bussed it to Finisterre before) and...- Maple Leaf Walker
