.Flying to Lisbon in early September
.We want to make a couple of daily segments of the Camino de Santiago, A total of three to six segments
.The days do not have to be in sequence
.The location of the sections can be from Lisbon, to Vigo

?Is it possible? Is There a way to get back to the car every day? How
.We will be grateful for information about beautiful and not very difficult segments which will allow us to return to the car
All things are possible on Camino and local taxi drivers will be amenable. www.gronze.com or the excellent http://www.wisepilgrim.com/ will guide you as to landscapes and amenities.
Thank you very much.All things are possible on Camino and local taxi drivers will be amenable. www.gronze.com or the excellent http://www.wisepilgrim.com/ will guide you as to landscapes and amenities.
looks interesting. We'll check.For some walks around Lisbon, I'd suggest choosing a couple of loops / circular hiking routes:

ROni50, just do a search of wikiloc for circular paths people have walked with the camino as one part of the loop. If you do this kind of walking, it will only give you a taste - but you'll get the vague sense of what the camino is like.

I don't know about better, but it's a whole lot cheaper.Is it better than walking on camino and back with a cab to the car?

"Better" is a matter of taste. You won't find people here who have a taste for anchoring themselves to a heavy metal object in a parking lot before they set off every morning. I can't speak for everyone, but I guess that it's not an approach that makes sense to most people in this community. That's why people have suggested circular routes ...Is it better than walking on camino and back with a cab to the car?
After a 25km stage, a taxi back to the start might cost €25 to €35. (More if the road isn't s direct as the trail). A bus will be cheaper, but timetables (especially in rural areas) may not align with your walking schedule.Do you have a rough estimate, how much can such a taxi ride cost?
I understand that your cynicism was "wasted" on a naive woman like me.For some walks around Lisbon, I'd suggest choosing a couple of loops / circular hiking routes:

Thank you.Well, it's still technically the case that motor-vehicle-assisted pilgrims have no rights to stay in the dedicated pilgrim refugios, though there are many private ones nowadays that completely ignore that rule -- and anyway, it's not mode of travel that defines a pilgrimage, and for all I know you're planning on sleeping privately in any case.
As to whether that project is possible, yes of course it is !!
The only thing that I would suggest is that in all cases you defer to the needs of the often very tired and occasionally somewhat impoverished backpack'd foot pilgrims, and try to keep in mind their needs for a bed before seeking your own (but seek your own regardless, there's no point at all in uselessly punishing yourselves !!).
Otherwise, well, Ultreia and Buen Camino !!
and anyway, it's not mode of travel that defines a pilgrimage
So where did you get the idea that it was not a pilgrimage if you use a car e.g Lourdes?
Thank you.
I really had no idea where I'd entered.
There is more than enough religious and ideological fanaticism, around me.
It's certainly not what I'm looking for when I'm planning a trip, and when travel the world.
Thanks for your explanation. I have no intention of occupying a place of pilgrim refugios or to be in places where I do not have permission to be.
Saw something similar in 2016 - and witnessed them swear they'd walked every step of the way on applying for their Compostelas.This time on the Camino I saw a group of three walking. Next time I saw them, one member was different. Next time another person was gone and there was a replacement member
Turns out there were four of them and they were taking turns driving while the other three walked. Interesting concept.
You think I should take my tongue out of my cheek then ?@Jeff Crawley amigo, we don’t often disagreebut I don’t see how a tourist can sample Camino. Same track, same view: different perspective.
@ROni50 that was obvious from your question. You’ve asked your questions in a forum dedicated to Pilgrims who make pilgrimage to the shrine of Santiago in Santiago de Compostela. Some for religious reasons, some out of cultural curiosity but all with some understanding of the significance of that journey and the mores and dictates of that undertaking. It is scarcely surprising that some have responded to your questions with confusion or mockery.Thank you.
I really had no idea where I'd entered.
Members meanwhile will be minded that this forum will appear in just about any internet search for Camino and that the innocent can stray onto unsought paths with a simple click of the mouse
I treated the comments of JabbaPapa with respect and thanks.That response is a bit out of line to the response given by JabbaPapa. He was offering an advisory based on considerations, not on ironclad rules.
Well, you are certainly in the right place for what we need.when I enter a new forum. I always spend time reading and browsing and getting the feel and purpose of a forum before I start participating. I want to make sure I'm in the right place for what I need
ThanksBTW, back to your question... if I tried to backtrack to my starting point on the camino I think I might get lost, but that might just be me. One beautiful segment to walk where that would not be a problem is along the coast north of Porto on the wood boardwalk. If you like natural ocean and coastline views, you would love it and it goes for many kilometers.
Lots of trains..Flying to Lisbon in early September

And after I thanked him for what he had written, I shared my feelings with him about the comments I received in the forum.
Sorry if it was possible to understand otherwise from the way I wrote.
