I was on the Via Lusitana's web page recently, and they have posted this very nice 12 minute youtube with pictures from Lisbon to Santiago. It was made by an Italian peregrino, so the captions are in Italian, but it's pretty obvious what they're saying.

It reminded me that there is more off-road walking than I remember between Lisbon and Porto. And it has some good shots to show the very wide paved shoulder that is usually there when you have to walk on the side of a busy road. And finally, you can see several pictures of sleeping accommodations in the Bombeiros Voluntarios (firefighters) to give people an idea of what that might be like.
so, if you're considering walking from Lisbon, take a look. Laurie
