I plan to walk the Camino Portuguese in September 2020
Hi, I am planning to walk the camino from Lisbon to Santiago in September. but i want to raise money for mental health at the same time. I have personal reasons a well as global reasons for doing this. My initial idea was to walk from Porto, but now I feel that the walk from Lisbon would be even more of an achievement. My question is this. Is it appropriate to walk this pilgrimage to raise money for a charity?
 
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.

Of course. Thousands have done just that.
 
Many people have done that. I'm currently reading a book, A Hug for the Apostle, written by a Canadian woman who walked from Chartres to Santiago in 1985 to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis society. She received nothing but encouragement from the various people involved with the Camino associations (as well as the rest of the individuals) that she met along the way.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
A wonderful reason to walk. One little bit of advice. Have sunscreen, a good hat, pack light and get good trail runners to walk in. Lots of road walking. But you will meet the most wonderful people on earth. The people of Portugal.
 
Thank you. I have another question. Is it imperrative to book albergue/hostels before i go or would it be ok to just find a floor/bed along the way? although i am no spring chicken, I am a bit of a nomad and am happy to bed down wherever I can

You cannot book albuerges on beforehand but by then when you are walking the "big flock" has gone
On the Lisboa to Porto track there will be no problem to find a bed. From Porto you could book ahead by e.g. Airbnd or Booking.com but also just pop in at albuergues.
Casa da Fernanda in Vitorino dos Piães -between Barcelos and Ponte decLima is adviced to book ahead if you like to stay there ! It is the best place to stay on the entire caminho Português.

A great cause. This is how I discovered the Camino..through a charity. The rest is history, so they say.

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...
