Hi, I'm leaving Porto on Saturday 15th October

Hi, I'm English, female, middle-aged (!), I live in Germany, I also speak French and Spanish, but no Portuguese, and I'm setting off from Porto on Saturday 15th October. I hope to meet some nice people. Thanks for all the info in the forum, some of which looks very useful.

Hi and welcome!
I´m currently in Ponte de Lima. There are still lots of people on this route, most of them seem to be German speaking. You´re sure to enjoy!
Bom caminho

Hi Bright-Spark and Sue,
Thought I'd start on the 16th and enjoy the Algarve a few days, but the Caminho calls and I bus into Porto (staying at the Dix Hostel) then depart from the Cathedral morning of the 12th. Shooting for SDC in the 23rd.
Bom Caminho,
Arn

Bright-Spark,
I'm currently between Barcelos and Ponte de Lima staying at the Casa da Dona Fernanda. It's about 12 KM from the Albergue Casa de Ricoleta.
Try to work this into your Caminho. With the heat, it's a good stop before Ponte de Lima. You will not regret it. Dona Fernando and family feed you more than you can eat, homemade wine to drink, a well appointed dorm with modern conveniences. I would vacation here if I wasn't driven to SDC.
Bom Caminho,
Arn
