Lisbon to Santiago - March 2018 - Our story!

Well this is my day to day interpretation of the Portuguese Camino. [from Lisbon to Santiago]
Some people may not like it. There were certainly highs and lows. I always try to see the beauty in everything my eyes witness, and everywhere my feet carry me. Our intentions were to stay in some albergues along the way, but with feet & leg injuries to my partner we opted for a more comfortable alternative. Perhaps some would suggest that’s not fully embracing the pilgrim spirit? As with our first Camino, [CF] the feeling walking into Santiago was certainly as euphoric as ever.

We did the Frances this year, st jean to Santiago and are planning our second camino next spring. I wonder if you would be kind enough to send your itinerary to us including your accommodations. It may help us to decide which route we will walk. Thanks

Hey Jim, I've listed below the towns & hotels we stayed at. As mentioned in my video we didn't quite make it to a couple of the places on foot in a single day. We would train or taxi forward, then train or taxi back the next day and start walking. Good luck

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it. Didn't realise you had walked the Camino Frances. Yes we'll have to have a chat about it when we next catch up
