Blue vs Yellow

I began walking the Camino Portuguese from the very south east corner of Portugal about two weeks ago. When I got to Santarem I took the Camino Fatima branch West. What a lovely walk that was. Now, I’m heading north and northwest to Porto to continue to Santiago. Just a word of caution to those of you who may be thinking g of doing this route, you need GPS and Google Maps Pro or the equivalent. The trail is poorly marked. I am basically doing the Porto - Fatima Camino in reverse. At every fork in the trail I look backward to look for blue arrows. They mostly are blue spray paint circles but they are there. Just a warning, use your phone for direction. I’m loving the trail and highly recommend it.

As long as you know where you are going and have a good GPS on your phone, you can pretty easily find your way. I have not been relying on the blue / yellow arrows at all but, when I see I one, I smile.
