Yes I have to agree. I just finished walking from Lisbon yesterday and I would have to say of all the trails I have walked throughout the world this one was the worst when it came to trash. A lot I feel was from pilgrims where they just discarded their water bottles etc. But also a lot of home...
Stayed there 3 nights ago. Antonio was just fab. Fantastic place to stay. Also stayed at Fernanda's and would recommend that as well. Then stayed at the new albergue Ninho. One of my best nights sleep.
Thankyou Laurie. I'm in Coimbra ATM. Been having a grand time. Have to say this trail is so well marked! I'm finding it easy to follow though having said that I will probably get lost now. Met some great people and loving the kindness that I'm coming across. Struggling with the heat. Never been...
I'm in Tomar currently having a rest day then hope to be in Porto by 6th rest day 7th leave 8th. Hard to say though how my body holds out exhausted from the humidity already. Though the day I rest it feels cooler. Funny that.
Thanks. Hope to see some others. Saw two in the cathedral yesterday getting their stamps but didn't look as though they were about to walk so hope today they start as well. As for the roadway yuk. But you take the good with the bad just scary.
I just arrived yesterday in Lisbon to start on the 23rd sept. I'm on my own. Excited nervous a little scared. But hey they are the feelings of a great adventure ahead. Hope to see some pilgrims along the way.
I too will be walking the portugese route solo. I will be starting from Lisbon. 6weeks till I leave and counting! So excited. Getting lost is always the best bit. When do you start? :p
I found this whilst looking for my way back to Lisbon. I still haven't decided yet which I will take but there was a flight that went straight to Lisbon.
