    Starting in Lisbon

    I also want to testify to the hot hot days in early September, and there is little to no shade and heat reflected off the cement, dry earth, and river. It IS walkable, but plan your days accordingly noting there are not a lot of places to get water or sit down along the route. I also noted quite...

    Lisbon to Porto: Jan 2024

    Walked this Camino in 2022 — The Wise app had a solid list of albergues. It also provides ‘off Camino’ routing options to get you off high-speed main roadways when necessary.

    I walked out of Lisbon in early September and cannot recommend that option. I propose the coastal for you. Nice cooling breezes, beautiful views, great food. Reasons to not walk from Lisbon in early September: It is still exceptionally hot with little shade for the first week, at least until...

    Albergues between Lisbon and Santiago

    A well-deserved day off, might I add! If you contact him (I did via WhatsApp, if I recall correctly) he will likely refer you to another nearby location.

    Recommended food and restaurants along the Central Portuguese

    Yes! to fresh seafood in Arcade, and Padron peppers (anywhere!). I believe we may have eaten at Avenida in Arcade -- we were there when they opened and they gave us spectacular service. Very charming.

    My turn for a LIVE thread - starting from Lisbon

    Thanks for sharing 'all' of your journey. As someone who is coming behind you in a couple weeks and keeping up with the news in Portugal, it's helpful to know how you are managing the external factors. I hope you are feeling better, and Buen Camino ~

    My turn for a LIVE thread - starting from Lisbon

    Hi @trecile from the Willamette Valley! I’ll be following you out of Lisbon next month, unless the heat becomes too much and I’ll reassess. I also have an umbrella and plan to bring it, for sure. i noted from your initial post that you flew with a suitcase and I’m wondering if you shipped it...
