    Porto to Santiago (Some further very personal observations)

    Quick suggestion that I used. The whole Brierley recommended route from Vila do Conde to tejoin the camino proper can very 'walked' on Google Strret View. You can look for the arrows etc and it's quite reassuring (if a little obsessive/compulsive)

    Porto to Santiago (Some further very personal observations)

    OK, so I promised on the back of your many kind requests that I would update on my observations of the Camino Portuguese from Porto to Santiago. So: General Observations Once again, waymarking is good. Within Portugal the different local governments along with the Via Lusitana seem to have...

    Lisbon to Porto (some very personal observations)

    There was enough of the hard stuff on the way into Barcelos this afternoon- those granite cobblestones will do for me I swear.

    Lisbon to Porto (some very personal observations)

    Hi CelWilliams We've met two females walking solo and they haven't reported any discomfort. You won't be staying alone anywhere and I think the Portuguese peopl are very respectful of pilgrims - especially after the tragedy with the Fatima pilgrims this week. The ONLY thing would be to have a...

    Lisbon to Porto (some very personal observations)

    Hi Hi Yes I think I saw your name in a couple of the guest books in hostels along the way and have also met the Canadians, the Finn, the Belgians an Italian, but strangely NONE of the Australians. I would add a Dutch lady, and a Portuguese gentleman.

    Valenca/Tui to O Porrino - Path conditions

    Leaving Porto tomorrow - hopefully will have subsided by the time we reach Mos. There were plenty of the same things prior to Porto too. Cheers

    Lisbon to Porto (some very personal observations)

    Having now walked Lisbon to Porto, I think it's time for me to pass some judgements on what I've experienced so far. General Observations Road walking - yes there is some - but not as much on BUSY roads as I had been led to believe. What I would say is that if FEELS like a lot of the bad road...

    My walking tour of Lisbon

    I'm looking forward to walking this little tour in a couple of weeks. I'm thinking of it in the same way that, on the day before the start of the Tour de France, they schedule an easy prelude stage - something to help get over the jetlag and get the legs moving. I also note that, and maybe...

    Caminho Portuguese - April 2015

    You'll be fine - just go at your own pace - anything you don't have you can get, and part of the joy of the camino is not being sure about where you'll stay/eat/be at the end of the day. Oh and be aware that the walk from SdC to Finisterre is quite challenging with a lot of bitumen and some...

    Do you want to start in Porto in April 2015?

    My wife and I will be starting mid-April 2015 from Lisbon. All going well we might go past you (or you might see us huddled on the roadside) somewhere after Porto
