First Camino, can the Portugal leg be done in 14 days?

Time of past OR future Camino
I and a friend are wanting to walk the Camino, unsure which route.
Hi all, myself and a friend intend to do the Camino, but only have 14 days due to work constraints. Done a litte searching the web and is it true that this route can be completed in 14 days? Also we are looking at the possibility of just camping enroute when we feel we need to, to make it more of an experience for ourselves, is this viable? All information is appreciated!

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.

Hello Johnny and welcome to the Forum.

If you are starting from Porto, yes you can do it in 14 days.

You just have to choose if you want to go either near the coast, or take the inland route.

Check vialusitana.org, to see some guides and have more information about places to stay.

About camping, you can check my post in here about that: http://www.caminodesantiago.me/comm...caminho-português-allowed-or-forbidden.20903/

Best Regards

hi in 2012 it took me 13 days from lisbon to porto 10 days porto to santiago im not fast walker but steady.
 
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.

The albergues between Porto and S de C are great, but for days when they are not reacheable/open we found camping wild to be easy. There are plenty of level places - just respect crops/flocks and leave nothing to show you have been there. In drier months be especially careful about fire if you are cooking. Good luck.

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.
