I share Mike's enthusiasm for this effort -- I think we both would love to undertake the Caminho through Lamego. We are so lucky that there are people on the ground who want to help get these routes rolling again.
One thing is unclear to me, though -- will the route start in Viseu, or will there be some cross over from the Caminho south of Porto? It looks like peregrinos would want to turn off at some point -- maybe as early as Coimbra or later, near Albergaria or Agueda.
Bom caminho e obrigada! Laurie
interesting videoHi Robet
Attached a film with images that include some sections of "Portugês Caminho of the Interior" and "Caminho Torres" when passing by Alto Douro Wine Region.

Shaking the trees to see if there is any more recent information about this route??
Yes, thank you, Laurie, I did go there...but got quickly confused. So many places with no sense of where they are. I was wishing for a paper map to look at as I was reading.Just to make sure you have seen this -- there is a sub-forum in the Caminho Portugues dedicated to the CPI, https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/forums/camino-portugues-interior-route.163/
Just a few.Are you getting ideas for 2017 Viranani?
Hello!
This is the Canadian lady just checking in from her last night before Santiago.
The CPI is amazing. Difficult! Do not discount the warnings of others of the hilly terrain. Being from an hour away from the Canadian Rocky Mountains I didn't think it would be an issue. Hahahaha!! Mind you, my first few days were battling +38C temperatures and my hometown might see 5 days of +30 in a year!
That being said the amazing sights, sounds and especially people of the interior of Portugal filled my heart with joy and energy. The albergues in Portugal were lovely, clean, and, for the most part, better equipped than the ones I've stayed in Spain.
I started in Viseu on September 3 and took my time as I will meet my husband at the cathedral in Santiago tomorrow, the 25th.
Grace the Pilgrim supplied me with her guide from October 2015. It was invaluable!! As was amsimoes' assistance. I have been jotting notes on top of Grace's and will send the file to anyone who wants it once I've transcribed my scribbles. Likely late October as hubby and I are returning to Portugal to enjoy two more weeks there.
