    Thanks that's a nice idea I wouldn't mind a few sea swims on the way (bearing in mind safe swimming spots) and some sandy picnics 😊

    Coastal vs Norte

    Thanks to you all for the feedback much appreciated. I guess for me it's not so much about the terrain although i am avoiding crazy climbs after a bit of a work out on the norte 😂 but whether it's beautiful or not. I got the impression its was a little lacklustre or boring with all the...

    Leaving from Porto mid october

    Starting from Lisbon in October

    Met quite a few people who walked from Lisbon over the past few weeks , I walked the Central from porto. They said by comparison the Lisbon to Porto route involves quite a lot of road walking and found it much tougher than the Porto to Santiago leg. So it's probably best to go easy on yourself...

    Useful apps for planning route

    Hi Everyone. Wondering does anyone have advice on apps? I've been trying to calculate distances on Google maps but it doesn't follow the Camino route. Is there an app which marks out the route and allows you to calculate distances? I'm not planning on following suggested routes from guide books...
