Hi, everyone.
I'm about a week away from setting foot on the Camino Portugues, most likely a combination of the coastal and central. Looking through some posts, I'm starting to fee like most pilgrims are deciding in advance, sometimes well in advance, where they'll be staying. Is that a false impression? Or is my idea of improvising, and deciding in the moment (or maybe with a couple of hours warning to possible accommodations) simply crazy talk?
Thanks as always,

Depending on the weatherforecast you could decide to walk the coastal or directly the central route.Hi, everyone.

In Portugal wild camping is forbidden. There are not many campings on your way.Hey guys,
Starting my first camino from Porto on Friday. Any last minute necessities I may need to have if I don't already? Is a tent a good idea or it would just add useless weight to the bag?
Cheers,
Ryan
In Portugal wild camping is forbidden. There are not many campings on your way.
One in Angeiras just outside Porto, one just before Vila do Conde and if you follow the coast some at the seaside towns and villages.
If you follow the central route you will be disappointed. Only one nearby Ponte de Lima about 5 kms from the caminho path.
In Spain most campings you will find at the coastline, far from the caminho. Leave your tent at home I should say.
...As many other have said on this forum, best thing to do is to reach your destination around 1-2pm. Buen Camino.
If you walk until 6 pm when will you was your clothes?Thanks, David and everyone else for your input. But reach your destination by 1-2 pm? I'm a slow but steady walker. If I arrive by 4-6 pm, would that do?
Hi, Trecile. I've not walked the Portugues or any other camino yet, so I'm not sure I understand your comment. Is that to say that it's not possible to wash one's clothes at albergues in the evening? What about other types of accommodations?If you walk until 6 pm when will you was your clothes?
Certainly you can wash your clothes at 6 pm, but they may not get dry.Hi, Trecile. I've not walked the Portugues or any other camino yet, so I'm not sure I understand your comment.
