Walking to Christ, with Christ, through Christ.
Time of past OR future Camino
First Caminho this summer! (July 2020)
So, after a long time of wanting to do the Camino, and after what seems like a divine urge, I have set off on my first camino!
Being a Portuguese resident it was rather easy getting to Porto without the hassle of Covid at the airport...
I started in Porto and went along the Coast to Vila do Conde, and just turned inward to Rates to follow the Central Way!

Having a cozy hammock time before departing once again step by step!

The locals are glad to see pelegrinos on the road again and have helped greatly along the way so far... it is my first camino, so I don’t have a past reference, but I want to share with you that the spirit is still very alive and we are welcomed here, albeit not without proper caution!
I have even met a few pilgrims on the Coastal Way and befriended a lovely group of young ladies from Spain, Italy and Brasil.

It is a true blessing to finally be doing this and I share this in hopes that some of the Camino spirit will reach you wherever you are!

Blessings in Christ
Joao

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.

Ciao!
It is a real pleasure to read your report and travel impressions! It is also nice to read that the locals do not mind seeing, greeting the pilgrims who have returned on the way. In fact, that's what comes to me from other sources. Certainly with the right precautions and sanitary rules. I wish you a good continuation ...buen camino 🙏🎒
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Nice to hear people are on the move again.
Loved the Camino start in Porto, and had to go back to explore Porto after we got to Santiago.
Enjoy your journey!

Thank you very much for the kind words of encouragement.

Just arrived home after 24 days of Camino life.. went all the way to Muxia.

What a blessing. The first camino but certainly not the last.
The happy melancholy I felt leaving Santiago was heart-touching.. a profound feeling of belonging, yet longing, but also motivation to come back soon.
(Brought back some Pimientos de Padron to make at home to ease the melancholy and nostalgia heheh :) )

Will leave some more pictures

Ultreia!
God bless and bon camino to all! <3

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.
