Dear all,
Some of you might remember a thread I started last year about what to wear for attending church whilst on the Camino. The thread generated quite a bit of response.
I thought it was high time to close the loop.
Whilst walking from Porto to Santiago, I attended 3 services, one in...
Dear Forum Members,
I’m honestly touched and blown away by all the support from this community.
I’m grateful for everyone who took the time to respond. So much good stuff in there, I’m making a mental list at what I need to do.
I put on my old hiking boots yesterday and walked from Seaford to...
Hi Woody,
My plan, if planning works for someone who doesn’t really know what is possible or not (personally I mean as I’m not a hiker in any sense of the word!) is to do the Senda Litoral, stay on the coastal up to Caminhas. From there join the Central at Tui and carry on the Central until...

1) done! Booked 2 nights at the start as my flight gets in late sat evening. Gives me one whole day to explore, find decathlon and...
Hi Carole, you have got to be kidding me?! I mean really pulling my non experience walking legs, right?
I fly out from Stansted on 17th, booked 2 nights in Porto as my flight gets me in early evening on sat. I plan to get going on Monday 19th…I feel like this is either the worlds serendipitous...
Hi everyone, so last week I was thinking wouldn’t it be great to walk one of the Caminos? I’m a complete novice, I go for walks only occasionally, but I have always loved the idea of multi day walks.
I ordered the cicerone guide for inspiration. I haven’t much travelled solo before, not...
