    Is the city of Braga on any route?

    In the city of Braga there are three caminhos: 1 - The old central path (before the construction of the bridge in Barcelos), 2 - The Torres path, which starts in Salamanca and continues to Ponte de Lima, 3- And the way to Geira and Arreeiros begins (in September I will do it).

    Locations for new albergue? (central route from Lisbon)

    I don't know if the path will be redirected. What the Associação dos Amigos do Caminho de Fátima wanted (before ending its activity) was to direct pilgrims here, preventing pilgrims to Fátima from walking on the EN10. For the Caminho de Santiago, I don't know.

    Easter in Lisbon 2022

    Two recommendations: The first, is to eat cod in Porto or any other city to the north. In Lisbon to eat cod you have to be in restaurants outside the center, because you will definitely eat poor quality cod (cod for tourists). The second, is to visit Braga where the Easter celebrations are more...

    Semana Santa

    Olá Albertinho. There is a way to Santiago [Porto-Braga-Ponte de Lima], it was the old road that existed before the construction of the bridge of Barcelos. It seems that Queen Isabel made her way to Braga. See Luis do Freixo...

    Arriving in Lissabon soon...

    Hi, Heidi. There are two possibilities to follow the path closest to the coast, an official one that is the Caminho do Mar (Way of the Sea), old road from Cascais to Santiago (as you can see on the maps of the credential), but it is not totally and officially marked. At this moment it is only...

    The pastel de nata debate -- hot or room temp?

    Hi Laurie: The factory of Pasteis de Nata that I showed to Albertinho and to Fred, is Manteigaria União, in Largo de Camões. Pasteis de Nata have less sugar than other pastries. It is also possible to order Pasteis de Nata at room temperature...

    There's more to Portuguese pastries than pastel de nata

    Firstly I would like to say that in Portugal the traditional or conventual pastry is not for diabetics or people with high cholesterol because it is made with lots of sugar and egg yolks. Pastries usually sell a wide variety of cakes, with some regional variations. I can not translate many names...

    Lisbon to Santiago... What not to miss?

    In fact, there are some sources of water, which I drink, but to avoid it is preferable to drink bottled water which is cheap (for example, a 1.5 liter water bottle from the Pingo Doce supermarket costs only € 0.16 one of the best portuguese water, Serra da Estrela region, only the white label)...
