Lisboa to Santiago

[Miki Goldie]

Hi all,
My fourth caminho is the Portuguese one starting on the May 1st. I plan on taking it slow over 5 weeks. I love the preparation and have bought a new eye mask today. My pack weighs 8 kg and would love to get it lower but............
I'm looking forward to seeing Portugal on the Central route and was last in there in 1980.
Love

Passa bem e bom caminho !
You'll see Portugal hasn't changed since then in the way of the friendly and helpful people, the fantastic food and wines. The pasteís de nata will be fresh baked for you. Enjoy the country.
Muito sorte ! Succes

Thats perfectly doable in 5 weeks. Enjoy it. If you have time left, continue to Finisterre and/or Muxía.

Yeah! I did the 920 klms (Francis) may 2018, to Muxia/ Finistere from SJPdP........loved every step.... Afterwards hopefully doing the Ingles from Ferrol to SC in June....life is wonderful when walking.......
Love

The Central Route is lovely. The people of Portugal are still about the nicest folks on earth. I assume you are starting in Lisboa. You will have plenty of time to enjoy some of the beauty of Portugal. Be careful on the roads but you will have a great experience, I am sure.
