Back from Camino Portugues

Hi all,

I am back from the Camino Portugues. I left on April 5th and returned home on April 22nd, which was a week earlier than I had originally planned. I visited Lisbon and Porto and started my walk in Valença. Despite walking very slowly because I had a lot of pain on my left foot, everything went really well. I had two very sunny days and two very raining days, which were my favorite days. I walked mostly alone but the few people I met were really nice. I found so much kindness along the way that I felt really blessed during the walk. As faith would have it, the message at the Pilgrim's mass I attended was about generosity and how different the world could be if people were kind and more understanding.

Thanks for all the suggestions and recommendations. I don't think I followed any of it but reading the forum/blogs did help me plan my very unplanned Camino. I am updating a blog I started during the walk with photos and albergues/hotels list. I also have a recommendation about the place I stayed in Redondela because it was very a special stay.

Buen Camino to all and I'll be back with the updates very soon.

Aida.

Fr. Scott,

I just finished Porto to SdC. On the Caminho Portugues, there are blue arrows directly opposite every yellow arrow. It leads to Fatima from Santiago.
