[QUOTE="pilgrimess, post: 184872, member: 15985"] Hi Anna, 5 of us walked the Portuguese Camino in July, 2012, taking the bus from Fatima to Porto where we began the walk. We walked 120 miles in 9 days which I thought was too fast. (I was the oldest in the group). One night, we stayed at a hotel because the albergue was full, once we slept on the floor with mats because the beds were all taken, and once the albergue manager drove us to an albergue extension as the main lodge was full. It was an unforgettable experience and almost always we found the yellow arrows easily. We came through some warm rains but the climate was the best. (we got lucky, I think.) Rural Portugal along the camino is just lovely. I voted for not walking along the coast because I've hiked on beaches before and it is more challening in my opinion. We arrived in Santiago and stayed at a wonderful Franciscan homeless shelter and albergue quite near the cathedral. The next morning we witnessed the beautiful thurible being swung high into the ceiling of the cathedral during Mass. Getting back to Fatima and Lisbon was much more difficult. We could not find either a direct train or direct bus route to Fatima from Santiago and wound up cobbling train and bus tickets to get us back in time for the flight home from Lisbon. Buen Camino to you! Connie [/QUOTE]
