Hi,
I intend to do the Camino Portugues route this summer & I just want to check how long does it normally take to go from Lisbon to Santiago. I have four weeks to do it & I want to know if this is enough time. Alternatively how long does it take from Oporto to Santiago.
Advice welcome.
I have only walked the first part, but may be you will get more answers who tell you obout the last part, so this is my walk: From Lisboa to Rabacal we used 9 or 10 days. Since it was very hot, the distances were not very long. Bjørg

I shall be setting off from Lisbon on 1 May and blogging enroute. You are welcome to follow my camino by clicking the link below. I am expecting to take 13 or 14 days to reach Porto and another 10 days to Santiago, so you may have time to continue to Finisterre if you wish. Buen camino!
Hi Magwood,
Good to hear that someone else will be starting out from Lisbon in early May. Look forward to maybe seeing you en-route. I only decided to do another Camino last week, bought my flight tickets into Lisbon for 29th April, and so am now busy looking into the details of this walk. Are we able to pick up the passport/credential at the cathedral in Lisbon do you know?
Cheers,
Eli
I checked my blog and included these days was also the first day we did sightseeing in Lisbon so if your pace will be a little faster than we did and you will walk a little bit more per day it will be easy doing within 4 weeksMy wife and I walked Lisbon to Santiago in 34 days last year
We had a day off in Coimbra, a day off in Porto and one in Barcelos
We walked approx. 20 kms a day and skipped the 3rd day between Alverca de Ribatejo and Azambuja because we did not like to walk alongside a busy mainroad for many kms.
Bom caminho
No problem with that! Unless, that is, that they are sold out
Eli, I have a spare credencial. I organised two because I thought that my daughter might join me at Porto, which she is now unable to do. I arrive in Lisbon on 30 April, so if you have a problem you could contact me. I will pm you my phone number.surely not!??! Ah well, no sense worrying about it unless it happens.
I surely appreciate hearing from all those who have posted about their experiences from Lisbon to Santiago. At this point, I hope to begin walking from Lisbon on 23 April, arriving in Santiago by the end of May. June. Unlike my first two Caminos, I hope to take a day or two to linger a few places. A little nervous about my complete lack of Portuguese, but I also know that it will work out fine.
Take care all and walk safely,
Bom Caminho.

There is not much information about coastal from Lisbon to Porto. I think once I read about ot starting in Sintra but more than that I have never seen.Again, great info. I'm planning my Camino Portugues for May 2015 or September 2015.
Quick question though: Could someone please direct me to somewhere in this site for info on Lisbon to Porto via the coastal route?
Or, maybe some folks have info on this?
Thank you.
ola' Joe - this is quite a puzzle - not seen much info here on this site, but when i was in Cascais in May this year, I noticed these Arrows, clearly pointing west towards the coast.Again, great info. I'm planning my Camino Portugues for May 2015 or September 2015.

Were you in a hurry Kat ? We did the whole lot in 32 days but stayed 2 days in Lisbon, 2 days in Coimbra, two days in Barcelos (to visit Braga-a killer ) and two days in Santiago. We fancy 20 kms a day .Hi Joeo,
I walked from Lisbon - Santiago in June/July this year.
I took 14 days from Lisbon - Porto (incl 1 rest day in Tomar) and 9 days from Porto - Santiago, but this was averaging 30km per day. If you have 4 weeks you will have plenty of time and could even continue onto Finisterre & Muxia.
I wrote a daily blog here: followingthearrows.wordpress.com
Buen Camino!

No need to make reservations on beforehand.The blue arrows are the directions for Fatima. I went there while walking from Lisbon to SDC. Bit out of the way but well worth it. Please please watch the traffic on the roads. I took buses when it was too dangerous. Book albergues on line before you travel. I paid 9E a night in Lisbon quite near the cathedral 2 years ago. I payed for an extra night and it was 14E on the day. Also when you get off your plane in Lisbon buy a bus/tram ticket for peanuts (3.50E ) which will last 24 hours to travel around Lisbon and see the sights!
Okay that is right. In Lisbon is better to make a reservation on beforehand.I was talking about the hostels in Lisbon. So cheap. Hotels are not. On the camino I stayed at fire stations(bomberos) free, albergues and going to Fatima slept on school classroom floors. That was a bit tough.

Exactly. Well done !Not in a hurry (I had 2 nights in Tomar), but it was my third time to visit both Lisbon and Porto - stunning cities and I would still go back again but this time I didn't feel the need to sightsee. I could have had 2 nights in Coimbra but I was enjoying walking with the people I met and considering I hadn't met anyone for the first 8 days I was grateful to have met them coming into Coimbra!
I've also realised my comfort zone is walking ~30km per day and this worked out quite well on the Portuguese camino due to the lack of albergues!
To sightsee and walk 20-25km per day I would recommend 30 days.
Buen Camino
