    Vaseline and Omnifix easily found?

    Ominfix or other brands (Hypafix, Fixomull) are widely available across Europe. Take a piece in to a pharmacy and show them, they may not know your brand but its a very common product for anyone with allergies to other tapes.

    Place to leave a stone (like Cruz de Ferro) on Portuguese Camino?

    I disagree with the views off there being too many busy roads on the Lisbon to Porto stretch. I walked it in April 2017. At this time there was a long stretch into Azambuja (which i skipped) on the road but this is now changed to a path next to the train line. The route has changed a lot over...

    Help needed with the first stages of Camino Portugues

    As someone said above, why take the metro out of Porto? The walk along the river and up the coast is very nice. I can understand wanting to skip the industrial section out of Porto onto the Central route, but you can do that by walking up the coast from the Duoro. Here's a video of us doing...

    Trains on Camino Portuguese

    Hi Mormon, I took the train from Vila Franca de Xira to Azambuja in April. You just get a ticket before you get on if you don't already have a topped up card, they are commuter trains at least to Azambuja. There are three types of train just check cp.pt for details. Try not to miss the...

    Walking the Portuguese Route

    You won't have a problem finding a bed, hot shower and a meal (with much better food and wine than the usual C.F. pilgrim meal). We walked all the way from Lisbon to Santiago in April. We used mostly albergues but the odd cheap hotel occasionally. There's enough facilities on the CP, just...

    New albergue in Alpriate -- NOW CLOSED PERMANENTLY

    Great to see the numbers growing so strong. I volunteered for a couple of nights in April, really enjoyed my stay and meeting the pilgrims passing through. I intend to return one day and spend a week or two volunteering again. The welcome from JoséLuis and others at Alpriate made me feel very...

    Walking sticks on the Portuguese

    Having just finished the Portuguese with sticks I'm not sure I'd bother if doing it again. They do help with the huge amount of cobbles you'll encounter though.

    New albergue in Alpriate -- NOW CLOSED PERMANENTLY

    Is it possible or necessary to reserve a bed if we are traveling second or third week of April? Just wondering as there's only 8 beds. I take it you have hospitaleiros organised for April?
