    Where to spend a week

    It would totally depend on what your preferred scenery would be. Personally we tremendously enjoyed walking the Porto-Caminha stretch. Walking out of Porto along the River was golden. It had everything I liked, from seeing the ocean and beach with many picturesque historic towns and villages...

    Portuguese Camino

    Thank you Stacey (and Jim) Seems that most experienced travellers recommend to just start walking and book accommodation on the go. We are definitely capable doing that. So, piecing everything together we are leaning towards the coastal route from Porto. This will both be our starting point...

    Portuguese Camino

    Hello Connie and Adriano. Thank you for your reply! Really appreciated. Kudos to you guys for sticking it out in a dorm. It would bring us right back to our backpacking days 25+ years ago in your home country but nowadays prefer to stay away from the sounds and smells that come with that. Having...

I'm sure we will figure that out with all the...
