Jackie you can book in advance at Fernanda'sHello,
Let me preface this by extending a huge thank you to this community for all of the wonderfully helpful info posted. I rarely participate actively but I check in for research purposes regularly
I am excited to have booked my flight to Porto and will begin my Porto-SDC walk late May this year. From what I've read here, Casa da Fernanda is a must-stay experience. I believe I can arrive there after my 3rd day of walking. Is it too early for me to call for a reservation? Also, do they speak English? My Portuguese is nonexistent (although my Spanish is more functional).
ETA - I just tried to call but got the voicemail. Do you know if it's possible to book online or via email?
Many thanks!!
Jackie
Try in the morning after 11 h. Mind there is Greenwich mean time in Portugal. One hour earlier than in SpainThank you Albertinho. Much appreciated! I will try again by phone.
ETA - thank you for the photo! I am getting so excited....and hungry
I stayed there last May and agree that you should make it a priority and definately call ahead and reserve a space. It was the only place that I encountered that was filled to overflow. She allowed two late arrivals to sleep on her porch.Hello,

Same experience had my Slovenian friend last summer. Definitely worth taking the porch bedPick the porch...any time...feels like sleeping in nature but with a roof. Loved it.
My wife and I have been hospitaleiros at Casa da Fernanda several times and will be back with them later this year to give a hand.

I'll be there in September too. I'm excited that there is a chance I'll meet up with some of you.Oh, I do hope it is in September!
We are planning for September as well! Hoping to figure out how to get there from Vila do Conde but it sounds like its a long stretch for one day from there? We hate to miss it, but only have 11 days to walk -what route is best to get there - would it be the 3rd night out of Porto on central?
