    Which Way

    I have done F twice and Port once. I disagree that you will see a lot of pilgrims. I walked in July and except for the end of the day, frw pilgrims. The number did increase after Tui but nothing like the F.

    first camino.

    I walked the CdP in '17 soon after 62 people perished in the fires near Coimbra. I must admit I was very anxious on the days we were in the eucalyptus forests.

    The route from SJPP when it's wet

    Trying to decide which one next

    My husband and I did the CdF last summer and plan to do the either the Norte or Portuguese next summer. We are both in excellent shape, runners and walkers all year-long, but I'm a little intimidated about the Norte. From what I read, it can be very challenging with all the hills. I will...
