What are the differences between Frances Camino(Spain) vs. Portuguese Camino?
I've walked both the French from St Jean, and the Portugese from LIsbon. The former took me 32 days (30 days walking) and the latter 28 (26 days walking). I would say the differences lie in the French being a much more social experience, with the vast majority of the route geared towards...- nickpellatt

Your impressions on the walk from Lisbon?
It's amazing how experiences can vary so much. I made a number of videos during my Portugese Camino and I've gone back and reviewed them ... something I commented on was that it felt like I was on the set of 'The Walking Dead', as I just didnt see people. By this, I mean local people ... I...- nickpellatt

Your impressions on the walk from Lisbon?
Two instances spring to mind ... I don't have my Brierly guide to hand so can't remember the names of the places, but I remember his recommendation that one bar / cafe was the last place to stop for some distance (like 12km or so) , and so I went in there to buy a lunch to eat en-route. All I...- nickpellatt

Your impressions on the walk from Lisbon?
Sorry Bob :( I keep coming back to this thread trying to be more positive, but from looking at other threads the negatives kinda remain (long stages / industrial areas / walking on main roads). Some of the experience may depend on the type of Camino you walk though perhaps. I met someone on the...- nickpellatt

Your impressions on the walk from Lisbon?
Kinda happy to hear I wasnt the only one, but sad at the same time to hear you shared my not-so-great Camino experience. I felt a bit too negative after re-reading my post, but it is an accurate reflection of my experience. I didnt really have the bed race thing ... but I did find myself...- nickpellatt

Your impressions on the walk from Lisbon?
If I'm honest. I'm not really a fan of the Portuguese Camino. I could never imagine doing it again, unlike my other Camino experiences. I started at the cathedral in Lisbon, and picked up the waymarking from there. Things do become more rural on the first day, but generally I think the...- nickpellatt

Recommendations for Porto-Santiago-Finisterre
This is just my opinion of course ... feel free to ignore it! If you are from Europe ... Dont walk to Finesterre or Muxia to end your first Camino. Walk the longest path to Santiago that your schedule allows. So according to your post, I think you should start in Coimbra. Two reasons: 1...- nickpellatt
