    Pilgrim stabbed and attacked at knife point after Sacavem, was able to escape

    So sorry to hear that this happened to AB and Yohan and probably many more women who has not come forward with their experience. I hope the person(s) is caught and justice is served.

    Is Braga worth a detour

    Took a quick trip to Braga on the way to Tui to see the Bom Jesus and it was totally worth it. Stunning views and beautiful church.

    Camino Portugues - Tui to O Porriño

    I took the Industrial road route on a hot September day. It was brutal but my group just wanted to get to our hotel and rest. No shade, dusty because of construction and no place to sit and rest.

    Planning to walk from Tui in early March

    That was the route I took in September. Our hotels were pre-booked so cannot help you with the albergues, although we did pass a really nice one in the town of Tui (sorry don't remember the name). Started at the 118 km mark which was just outside our hotel.

    Pre-Camino blues?

    Pre-camino blues was more about anxienty because it's was my first one. Post-Camino is harder, because you just want to go back and do it again.

    Waterfall near Caldas de Reis

    Visited Rio Barosa on our way to Caldas de Rei, it was a nice break after walking in the September heat. When we were there they were setting up for a wedding, also very popular with families having a picnic.
