    Hi there, I walked many d September and the days were very warm. About 34 degrees! It was hard going out of Lisbon but got easier and more interesting once I got to Santarem everything became more interesting. Colega, Tomar and of course Coimbra are must see places! Liz

    Hello I walked the Portuguese Camino - coastal route in September and it was absolutely fabulous! It will be warm enough in April to walk easily in shorts in April, cold early mornings but the days should be lovely and mild. You will enjoy it immensely!

    I will start from Merida in April and am planning on not taking my sleeping bag - just the silk liner. I walked the Camino Portuguese in 2016 and never used it. What do other's who have walked this route think? Thanks
