Good to know that there is one point where to get information on fires !
Although I have not been able to go back this year, I will certainly keep the info for next year.
Cheers
Just made it to Santiago !!!
No forest fires at all. Beautiful weather for most of the route.
Fall came day before yesterday, with blue skies and cooler temperatures. I will now enjoy Santiago for a few days.
Cheers.
:D
Hi John,
Will post a complete brief after I return to the US. For now, I can tell you that it is going great. We have just arrived in Barcelos. Today is our third day on the road and we have already experienced various acts of kindness from complete strangers. Only issue for me is that I...
Hi Ivar,
We have just made it to Barcelos. Lots of burnt patches. No fires now. Actually, it rained on us for most of the morning, definitely no fires.
Cheers. Ilona
Good morning from sunny Oporto, after very dark skies early in the morning. Information on fires so far is sketchy. Apparently none from Oporto to Tui. Stopped at the Centro de Estudios Jacobeos and the gentleman there said no fires. Went to the Pilgrims office, which is closed until 2 pm...

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the info.

Hi Peter:
Thanks for all the websites you had included. I had thought Ivar had sent it, and now I see that you had done it. Definitely helpful data even if the principal Porto Amigos site is not ready yet. I took down all the distances between towns in Spain. It will be wonderful if this...
Oporto to Santiago
Ivar,
Thanks so much for all the websites you listed. Will start reviewing them right now. I will start in Oporto. It is good to know that there are good markings throughout, since I am a pretty poor map reader....
Hello Pilgrim,
Great to follow your progress...
Hi,
Two friends and I are planning to travel from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela. Any suggestions for guides, places to stay, state of trails ?
There seems to be almost no information on this route.
Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks. Cheers.
