    No sub-forum for Lisbon to Santiago Central route?

    Thank you, Peregrina2000. That's what I ended up doing (posting in the straight up "Camino Portugues." I recently biked the entire Camino Portugues Central Route backwards (Santiago to Lisbon) and posted a fairly comprehensive trip report to help others who might wanna try the same thing (I...

    No sub-forum for Lisbon to Santiago Central route?

    Am I missing something? I don’t see a choice here for information on the basic Camino Portugues (Lisbon to Santiago Central Route).

    Big Bad Dog on CP just before Alverca do Ribatejo

    Lol I saw exactly one other cyclist going my way the whole 14 days I was out. And he was on one of those short stumpy little Bike Fridays. 😈

    Big Bad Dog on CP just before Alverca do Ribatejo

    This dog was a MastiN not a MastiFF. You don’t see Mastins in the U.S. (I am a veterinarian) but they’re extremely popular in Spain / Portugal as farm and property protectors, not necessarily flocks. They’re long haired and look / act a lot like Pyrenees, but come in all different colors. Indeed...

    Big Bad Dog on CP just before Alverca do Ribatejo

    Funny you should say that first thing because many times on the Camino, a dog barking at my presence was my first clue that I was going the wrong way.👌

    Big Bad Dog on CP just before Alverca do Ribatejo

    I just biked the CP backwards from SDC to Lisbon. This happened yesterday, September 28, 2019 on a normal south to north walker’s first or second day out of Lisbon. The place is just before a south to north walker will come to Alverca do Ribatejo (the town where you have to go up stairs into a...

    Cycling the Camino Portugues *Backwards* from Santiago to Lisbon, Central route

    Ya, that’s why I did it. Even one of the “wrong way” walkers, an Australian guy I had met weeks ago walking the CF, told me he’d been unable to find any info even searching for walking the CP N to S. We were both so surprised and pleased by all the blue arrows. He was intrepid, walked all nite...

    Cycling the Camino Portugues *Backwards* from Santiago to Lisbon, Central route

    I just finished cycling Santiago to Lisbon, the Central route, Sept 15-28, 2019. Here’s the ride report: My Bike Iberia rental bike rocked and they were a great company to deal with. I was able to fill out all their forms without computer (iphone only) access by screenshotting their application...

    Blue Arrows (Fatima route) on Portuguese Camino

    So far from Santiago to Porto wind hasn’t even been an issue like it is on a USA cross country. Probably cuz you’re in woods and hills so much. No long flat stretches. Or maybe I have a tailwind so I don’t notice wind against me. 😈 THE issue (which you’ll have either direction) is some serious...

    Blue Arrows (Fatima route) on Portuguese Camino

    Thank you all so much for the info. I wound up taking the Central route but good to know they’re on both.

    Blue Arrows (Fatima route) on Portuguese Camino

    Apologize for posting this here but nobody has ever replied to any of my (3) posts over in the Camino Portuguese forum. Does anybody know if the blue (Fatima) arrows are present on the Coastal route or the Central route south of Redondelo? I am right now cycling the Portuguese Camino...

    What are the differences between Frances Camino(Spain) vs. Portuguese Camino?

    Important info. I am going to cycle the Portuguese Camino backwards from Santiago to Lisbon starting Sept 16. I don’t expect it to be the greatest; not looking forward to being by myself and getting lost for lack of markers. But I’m finishing up walking the Camino Frances and my flight home is...
