Helo, dear pilgrims!
Or somewhere in Portugal the pilgrims have to change routes, or fear for their lives due to the forest fire?
Are the forest fires currently threatering pilgrims from Lisbon to Porto and from Santarem district to Fatima?
Your Martin.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Yesterday I had a chat with a hospitaliero who works in a donativo albergue Casa Catolico in Branca, that is between Albergaria-a-Velha and Sao Joao da Madeira, about 50km south of Porto. He's confirmed that the fires are out and it's safe to walk. They only stopped receiving pilgrims for 1 day, then the normal activities resumed. The wind got down, so did the fires. Hope it helps in planning. Bom Caminho to everyone! :)
 
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.

Thanks for the update. It is a relief the fires are out for the moment. The temps the last days have cooled - let’s hope it stays that way. Bom Caminho all.

Here's a quick link to an app that shows where all fires are, throughout the country. Orange ones are still live.


Although it's in Portuguese, it's pretty easy to use!

Best wishes to everyone walking through the region...

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.
