Greetings to everyone from the Camino Portuguese. I am in my second week, coming from California, and I thought people might want to know what it is like. First of all, I had no problem getting into Lisbon airport with my negative Covid results and paperwork for my Covid vaccination. I began walking in the very south and east corner of Portugal and have followed the coastline. I am currently in Santarem, going to make a left turn west and head to Fatima, then follow the coast to Porto and then Santiago. Things here seem very normal. The Portuguese people, always so welcoming, are delighted to see the return of the Pilgrim. Everything is open and pretty much functioning back to normal. Loving it.

This is very good to know! I'm starting the CP from Lisbon in early July, and I was a bit worried about that!

Bom Camino!

Can you give more details about the route you’ve taken so far please? Did you start in Vila Real de Santo António or did you mean southwest and start in Sagres?

Great to hear...planning the CP for Aug/Sep
 
Well Peregrinos across the pond if you were thinking of going this post is a big hint to do it now if it is possible. Situations change very quickly in Europe.

Bom Caminho

Have you found accommodation between santarem and Fatima? I'm looking to do similar in a couple of weeks but am struggling with somewhere to stay.....

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.

Have a safe journey.

Thank you for this! We want to fly into Madrid on June 8th from the US, and would like to walk the Portugues from Porto, Everything I read says still closed for US travelers? If you can do it, we can!

Might be some new info on May 30th in Portugal?

Thanks for posting. I’ve been seeing some great deals on plane tickets to Lisbon, but was afraid to purchase because I didn’t know if I could get in. Keep us posted on your progress!

Buen Camino. Wishing you all the best.
 
First of all, I had no problem getting into Lisbon airport [coming from California] with my negative Covid results and paperwork for my Covid vaccination.
Thank you for sharing the good news! However, I am confused. My understanding is that Portugal is still not allowing in people from most of the world (in particular from the US), even with COVID tests and proof of vaccination. I hope I'm not prying if I ask - do you have Portuguese residency or EU citizenship or some other grounds for entry into Portugal?

Spain will admit US citizens with proof of vaccination starting on June 7. I keep hoping that Portugal will announce a similar opening soon, but apparently the decision-making process is very different in Portugal.

Buen Camino! Great news! I am thinking about possibly 'hopping' to Tangier-Chefchaoun at the end of my stay in Portugal. I'll be in Jerez de la Frontera but currently Morocco has a no fly/no ferry for Spain. I don't think this holds for Portugal, though. I'd have to fly from Porto-Tangier (via Barcelona then back via Madrid - but I'll just get off there because that's where I need to end up to go home anyways! Voila!)... arrange guided tours (I've seen them on Viator)... I was wondering about traveling as an American but would be coming from Spain.... As far as I know, currently Americans can travel to Morocco, just cannot go via Spain (the most convenient way). They have a lot of local travel restrictions, too so I'm not sure about Tangier-Chefchaoun)....

Enjoy your trip! I'm planning mine via coastal Portugese (starting at Baiona), then shifting to the Spiritual Path at Ponteverde.

Right - I've pretty much read the same... but the new regs are for entire EU to allow vaccinated Americans to enter EU... but Portugal has never clearly stated this although Spain has. Here's a great update on summer EU travel: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...cking-your-way-through-a-maze-of-border-rules
 
Any details about the trail and accommodations would be greatly appreciated. My wife and I plan to start in Lisbon the first week in May, 2022. Buen Camino!

I started in Villa Real de Santo Antonio. Lovely journey thus far. Even the tourist casino areas. They went by fast but were interesting. I loved the solitary beaches
I’m in the trail at the moment but plan to stay in Santos. I’ll let you know.
I found a casa rural in Amaias de Baixo. Not much around here.

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.
