    Camino portugués

    If you're walking the Portuguese camino backwards, does that make it a new one? The Camino Eseugutrop?

    LIVE from the Camino Lisbon to Porto

    Well done! An amazing journey, followed on this site by so many peregrinos. Come back next year in the Spring/summer when the sun is shining! May God bless each traveller on the camino, keep them safe, and keep their spirits high. Steve - East Anglia, UK.

    LIVE from the Camino Lisbon to Porto

    On my 1st camino I considered it cheating to do anything but walk. On the next six caminos I asked myself .... "If, in medieval times, a pilgrim was offered a lift on the cart of a passing farmer, would he refuse it?" Of course not! My final camino will hopefully be the short Baix Maestrat over...

    Exciting route Portuguese

    WOW! What a lovely video - which brought back so many memories of this year along the coast and previous years inland in the hills and forests. I still prefer the quiet of the old pathways, to the new busy boardwalk along the coast! Thanks, Albertinho. My love to Nel - so sorry she couldn't walk...

    Exciting route Portuguese

    The "Roman roads" on the central camino are, to my mind, a wonderful part of feeling that one is "part of history" and I love going over the well worn tracks - even seeing the grooves cut by a million horse drawn carts and charriots in some of the road stones. The coastal route provides...

    The Camino Portugues...Does one Need to SPEAK Portuguese??

    No. You don't need to speak Portuguese. They prefer you to speak in English rather than Spanish: but a few Spanish words may occasionally be helpful. They're a lovely, friendly people. Stick to English! Steve. P.S. Back a week ago from the Portuguese Coastal. I know only 2 words in Portuguese -...

    I can only say it worked on the wild packs in Castellon. But it's in my luggage now!

Porto to Matosinhos 12 km Matosinhos to Angeiras 12 kms Angeiras to Póvoa de Varzim 15kms Póvoa de Varzim to Estela 10 kms Estela to Esposende (Marinhas) 14 kms Marinhas to Viana do...

    Am off in a fortnight! OK OK I know it's only February! Couldn't wait any longer! I think it should be fine, and slightly cooler than in August! :)

    Warning to Women Walking Solo

    I always take a "dog dazer" which emits a high frequency noise which humans can't hear, but dogs run away...

    Is this ok?

    Greetings, Doug! I'm walking that Camino in 3 weeks time. I plan to take the river/coastal path to Matoshinos. It's a few Kms longer, but prettier [I guess!] If the river and ocean winds are too cold, I'll move to the internal camino - even though I walked it in 2011!! Bom caminho, amigo!

    Warning to Women Walking Solo

    Yes - it was too hot in the UK too!! But I love Portugal - and Portuguese people. They're the only European nation with whom the British have never been at war!!! Am looking forward to it. My first ever camino was from Porto to SdC in 2011. It's all documented on my web site. I shall try to...

    Warning to Women Walking Solo

    Hi Sparrow! I plan to walk Porto to SdC along the coast next April/May as a "final" camino. You'll probably be long gone before I'm there - but just relax and enjoy. And enjoy the company of other pilgrims, who will become your "pilgrim family". Whatever you do, don't be put off by these rare...
