    Car rental from Santiago to Lisbon

    A side note: I have rented a car in Germany (post military service) several times over the last 5 years and have never been asked for an International Driver's License. I have only provided a stateside (valid) one. While I have purchased International ones (always from AAA), they have gone...

    Is the full Portuguese Camino doable in 3 weeks?

    MiaT, perhaps trying to drink from this fire hydrant has not answered any question but provided many more. That said, in my opinion (so what, you may say) just take a look at what you want to do - as many have pointed out. Personally, I found other routes to be as enjoyable as SJPdP - SdC and...

    Is the full Portuguese Camino doable in 3 weeks?

    I have considered, for quite a time, Albertinho wise about the Portuguese Caminho and I concur with the assessment completely. The Portuguese people, landscape, (and food) is just too good to hurry!

    Solo female starting Aug 2nd!

    Bom Caminho, arajput! While you may not be assured of fellow travelers, you can almost be certain they will be there. You didn't say where you would begin and my experience (or lack thereof) tells me that Porto will have more. Lisbon will have some, too, so don't be reluctant to travel. My...

    Nana and Meg are Officially Hitting the Trail Together!

    Coleen, in an earlier post you said you would be doing portions of the coastal and interior route. Can you tell me how you're going to do that? I may be thinking about the "pure" interior route from Viseu (I did that several years ago). I intend to do Porto to SdC within the year and hope to...

    Thoughtful pilgrim - Picture request

    I just finished the Portuguese - Interior route and didn't get a picture of the "Casa de Cesar"... If someone has one and would share it with me, please send it to: westernkyep@gmail.com I had a "brain cramp" and just didn't get a picture to go with my picture of "Casa de Tomas" (the last of the...

    Water on the Portuguese Camino

    amorfati1, Thanks for the quick response. Is the Vinho Verde a "tail kicker" like new wine in Germany? I had trouble last Camino with electrolytes ... I love it but have to over-hydrate sometimes. I love the coffee, too, but it's the same issue. What about the Poweraid kinds of things?

    Water on the Portuguese Camino

    Please advise me about fountains or water availability especially if you've recently walked from Lisbon to SdC (2014). On my Frances' journey fountains were quite frequent. I've read Brierly and he seems to say that water is less frequent. What's the latest? What are the alternatives to...

    How many days do I need to get to Santiago from Coimbra?

    marcodaprado, I'm a walking stick person - a "staff" if you will - and wouldn't trade it for anything. That said, in almost everything on your Camino / Caminho it is "personal preference". I feel comfortable with the stick. Mine is Black Locust (available in Kentucky - USA) and about 60...

    Unable to finish my camino Portuguese

    gailsie, I believe that the majority of folks here (and beyond) would agree that your experience was much more positive than you might imagine - in spite of your frustrations over having to listen to your body. Each of us has our story, I'm sure, about how we paid some penalty for our bit of...

    It's official

    I look forward to seeing you. I'm arriving about the same time but am depending on the US Air Force for transportation so my schedule is a bit "flexible".... Hope to see you enroute! I'll be the old guy looking for Urban Trekker and crew.... Bon Caminho!

    Warning - Detour of Porriño almost wiped out.

    Amorfati, thanks for the information. Do the maps exist in the local area or are they distributed for some distance ahead?

    24 Days on the Camino Portugues

    Leaningforward, I'm not much help on this one. I did the Frances in May/ June and have planned this one for Sep / Oct (retirement - this time I really will retire) and haven't considered other times. Sorry! fwe

    Ready, Set, Go!

    Tony, I sure wish I could depend on the AF to get me there about that time. There would be another white hair in the slow crew! Here's hoping that we get a chance to swap stories! Rich aka flewitheagles

    walking in sandals only?

    My preferred sandals are Keens... MimisCakes and Jnlee99 may make me rethink my podiatrist's advice....

    24 Days on the Camino Portugues

    Michael, Our local Historian says there is always a Hopkinsville (Hoptown) connection. I look forward to our meeting; maybe we can find the Urban Trekker, too. That's about my timing, likely. I'm the white headed guy... Like an eagle! Oh, and I'm not a native; I'm a transplant.
