Camino Portugese

[KricketN]

I plan to begin the central route around April 10, 2018. Not sure which town past Porto yet. Wondering if their will be other's out there also.

Hi Kricket! In April there should be quite a few other pilgrims on the main Portuguese route, so you shouldn't be too lonely - and the albergues shouldn't be too full, either. Moreover, the wild flowers will be coming out in abundance. If you check my web site, you'll see the route I took back in 2011.
Buen camino!

Here's just one picture of the wild flowers in a meadow on 3rd April......



Enjoy your camino - I am jealous!

The route is popular and easy to walk, but not busy at this time of the year. The facilities are adequate, the food is great, the nature will be in full bloom. You'll need a sleeping bag if you plan to stay in municipal albergues. Bom Caminho!

Thank you. I have begun and have a sleeping bag. It is wet and chilly. Some sun breaks now.
