It is happening as I type this message.There is a current article in the Portuguese press for a high fire danger, but are you writing about current fires or the ones in 2016?
There is a Camino 20 / 30km away from the fire.I have zero knowledge of the Camino(s) in Portugal. Is any of them in or near the area?
There is a Camino 20 / 30km away from the fire.
At the moment, I dont think the fire will effect the Camino; maybe some smoke in the air but nothing more than that (at least it is what I'm hoping for)
Okay. I hope things will calm down...
This is so sad. I wish everyone a safe passage and prayers for all the life that has been lost. Fire is a powerful master.Hi!
Just a little warning for those doing the portuguese (from Lisbon) right now: there is a big wildfire in Pedrogão Grande e Figueiró dos Vinhos. It is not necessarily on the route but wildfires are impredictable and only God knows where will it be an hour from now.
There are people injured, missing and 19 people died. 16 got caught on their cars and 3 died on the street by smoke inhalation.
A little more south there is another one in Ferreira de Zêrere.
I dont want to scare anyone. I'm just really worried with what is going on and wanted to warn you all.
I'm walking the Portuguese Camino on the 1st of September and am very sad to hear about this fire which is ongoing. I'd like to add my thoughts and prayers to all of yours. What an awful time this is too with so many sad stories.This is so sad. I wish everyone a safe passage and prayers for all the life that has been lost. Fire is a powerful master.

I've also heard from a fellow pilgrim who has just arrived in Santiago that there has been an incident, a car with four men stopped two French pilgrims and took all their valuables on the Grijo->Porto leg so keep a look out as I understand it's pavement walking. All the best to anyone out there now or going soon and anyone reading this.
