You arrive in Porto and have a day or two to spend. Let me suggest a WONDERFUL restaurant/bar across from the “Harry Potter” bookstore, the Lello Bookshop. This place is named “Clerigos Cervejaria” and is also near that giant Torre do Cleriigos.”

The staff is outstanding in their friendliness. They like pilgrims! Clayton makes a killer Caiperinha with special ingredients from Brazil. The lemon is mouth watering.

Manager Rachel, is very friendly and knowledgeable.

The facilities are clean, restful, and spacious, a wonderful place for a solo pilgrim (or more, I imagine) who just needs a place to relax and prepare for a long walk.

Highly recommended.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Thank you! Recommendations Alway welcome. Looked at reviews on TripAdvosor and they concur!
 
Okay, you need to try the local specialties, though! Love Brazilian food, but I’d rather go for a bifana or a francesinha when in Porto!

I think they serve the Francesinha at this restaurant also but, since this the one also known as the “calorie bomb,” I went for a small, cold cerveza instead.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hopefully they are still a happening. In 2015 my family and I joined "Porto Walkers" for an afternoon walk around that beautiful city before beginning our Camino the next day. Delightful and informative. And plan to spend a little while gazing at the blue tiles in the downtown train station. 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.
