    Favorite Area to "Base Camp" in Lisbon

    I do agree with central, flat Baixa too, and I stay at the "Yes" hostel. They give a very warm welcome and have a breakfast included. I also stay at the "Yes" hostel in Porto. The prices are reasonable, it's very clean, have sheets and curtained bunks. Other pilgrims stay there too. Love

    Missing out

    Thanks for talking about your walking meditation... I also walked the Portuguese Camino this May- every step of the way from Porto, up the central. I loved it.

    Camino Portuguese

    Thanks Elle for your wonderful knowledge of the Portugese Caminho. I enjoyed walking out of Oporto using the Brierley guide as I was so excited to be on the way again for my 4th Camino. I asked locals if I got lost, a single 66yo female, doing the central. I'd like to make 3 points. As it's...

    Anyone walking Porto-Santiago July onwards? Any advice?

    Just completed the Portuguese from Porto in May. It was wonderful and I chose to go the central route. Two things to consider are: did I really need that day off in Tui?
