guide to Camino Portugues

[surzue]

Hi everybody,

we are beginning our camino from Porto this sunday I would like to ask you if it is possible to buy a guide right on the spot and if yes... in what kind of shop could we get it? I have found online this guide by John Brierley but it takes too long to get here

Hi!

It's too bad that the Brierely guide won't get to you in time.
But try this guide, which you can download and print off, all for a mere donation. I haven't done it myself yet, but they seem good since they are constantly updated based on pilgrim's feedback.

I will be walking from Porto from next Wednesday.
Do you know roughly how much the Alberges cost? I've heard that they are mostly free, you give a donation, or cost an average of €5.

Have a good trip.

surzue, you can buy Brierley's guide on a shop called FNAC that exist in Porto. Otherwise, on the way, you'll find a small café in a place called Pedra Furada (the café has the same name) which has one vast collection of Camiño memorabilia, and the owner it's a very nice guy! He have some guides to sell, you can buy them for the same price has you'll find in other places.

The Albergues right now have a cost of 6€ (the ones from the Via Xacobea), and then you have private Alberegues that go from 10 to 15€.

Best Regards
Diogo

Hi all,

If I would go again, I would buy the shorter version of the guide that only contains the maps and accommodations. I saw this one for example in the famous bookshop Livraria Lello in Porto.

Bom caminho,
