Walked this route in June 2016. Coolish at times. You can have a look at my blog.www.gittiharre.blogspot.com
Happy to answer specific questions.
Thank you that was a great read, I will be following the coast for a bit longer than you did. I was interested to note that it was easy to find the markers, I am hoping that will be the case for myself. I do not speak Portuguese, is that likely to be an issue? I am also allergic to gluten which will make conversations around food and eating interesting. Do you think I will have any issues finding food and knowing if it is gluten free? I was also intrigued that you note there were quite a number of pilgrims and they became more as you entered Spain. I suspect there should be plenty in July/August.

Thank you for taking the time to share your blog.

Hi, I will be interested in how things go for you, I plan to walk up to the boarder and then join the inland route.

I was surprised at the number of people who speak English. Gluten free a bit of a challenge. There is plenty of seafood and veges and salad. Eggs and yogurt and fruit for bfast. Did not come across gluten free bread except for odd organic shop in Lisbon...but I did not look.
Have a great time.

I'm hoping to run some of the way .... I may start from airport... planning has been badly interrupted so cramming via this site ATM ... sea to left and keep going
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
