We have time for walking 2 to 3 days between coimbra and porto and would welcome thoughts on the nicest sections please. We leave lisbon tomorrow!
 
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.

Hello Nici: I cycled the Caminho Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago in September of last year.. I spent several days in Coimbra which is a beautiful town to explore as it is full of history.

I revisited my journal covering the area between Coimbra and Porto. My journal notes stated that the Caminho markings going out of Coimbra are not very good. Many of the towns outside of Coimbra seemed depopulated. Much of the Caminho follows the highway N1. Mealhada which is between Agueda and Coimbra stands out, but only because the area is known for its roasted pig.

If I were you, I would visit Fatima before going to Coimbra. After Coimbra, I would take the bus or a train to Porto and rejoin the Caminho. The area north of Porto along the Caminho (interior or coastal) is far better marked and enjoyable.

Bom Caminho

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.
