I thoroughly agree with davkel.I walked solo from Lisbon to Santiago in 2013. I met the most amazing Potugese people who were so helpful and friendly. I thought it was also very well waymarked.We were a camino family of about 6 +until Porto when many more pilgrims started. It took a little while...
I walked the Caminho Portugese from Lisboa in 2013. I started April 17th and had wonderful weather. A little light drizzle as we approached Porto and some rain in Redonela. I did not visit Fatima (no time) but met many pilgrims walking there. I really enjoyed this caminho and hopefully will walk...
Hello Diogo
Yes I met you and your friends when I walked the Caminho Portugese. I recognised you from the photo album you posted especially the one from the public thermal lavadora in Caldas de Reis .I think I also commented on them
Bom Caminho for March/April

I also agree with Tom. I enjoyed walking out of the city to the Expo site and Maritime park. Then along the Tejo river bank and then through the farmland.
I walked from Lisbon to Santiago in 23 days ,but I think you could do it in 3 weeks. Bom Caminho

I walked Lisbon to Santiago April/May this year and enjoyed it all very much. I had great weather,wonderful scenery, but best of all were the people . There are areas north and south of Porto that are difficult as there are on other caminos. Whatever route you take enjoy it all. Bom Caminho
