    Porto to Santiago

    We did the CP inland in 2018. Found the Portuguese people to be wonderful. Look for Casas for lodging. they are local families hosting and great experiences.

    Starting in Porto around September 1st

    Hi Duane We did the CP last year and had a great time. First, spend a day in Porto, it is a great city. Second, don't walk out of Porto, it is very industrialized. Take a train north (other posts on Ivar will tell you how), we went 10 stops, I think, got off the train and walked West. We...

    Portuguese in early March

    Be prepared for sore feet and legs. We found walking on cobblestones, found during the first three legs of the central route, to be very difficult. Buen Camino

    Spiritual variant question

    I was told by the Sacramento Camino group that while normally it is a two day stay at the monestary, if you call ahead they would make arrangements for one night. But you MUST make a reservation. Buen Camino

    Portuguese Central- which stage to skip?

    We skipped the walk out of Porto. We took the Metro 10Km north, got off and just walked west until we ran into the ocean; then headed north along the boardwalks. The walks on city streets and cobblestones were a killer on our feet and knees. Buen Camino

    Perverts and bed bugs

    Four old guys just finished the Portugues Camino. There are by no means the numbers here as on the CF. BUT there are other groups. In fact we were adopted by a tour group. They even saved seats for us at the cathedral for noon mass. We are guessing there are 20 to 30 walking. On thursday you...

    Camino Portugues in October

    Four Old Guys walking start from Porto on Oct 2nd. I think you will have plenty of company. We are walking up the coast the first day to Vila do Conde, then crossing over to the Central route at Arcos and heading north. We are hoping the rain will be normal this year and not so bad. Buen Camino

    Anyone starting from Porto at the beginning of October?

    Hi David Four old guys walking start from Porto on Oct 2nd. We all arrive on the 1st or day before. We plan to walk the coastal route to Viado Conde on the 2nd, and then cross over to the Central and Barcelos on the 3rd. After that a leisurely 12 days to Santiago.

    Newbie

    Good Morning Four of us are leaving Porto on Oct 2nd for our second Camino. We are making reservations in some of the cities now and not finding any difficulties. I have successfully booked my first choice in 6 towns. Since we have already completed one walk, we have a good idea just how far...
