Bonjour à vous,
I am sure that some of you experienced the Portugeese road in october and my question is: "What was your experience with the weather"? I thank you in advance and wish you all, wheatever road you are up to, a excellent Camino.
Ghislaine, from Ottawa, Canada
Thank you for your answer. I appreciate. After I wrote the question, I said to myself... what does it really change... it will be what it will be. I guess we're always a bit curious about the experience of others. Thanks again.Last year it didn't rain until I hit Porto but then, it rained frequently but in small amounts in the Galicia valleys. I walked October and November.
Would like to talk with you more about that experience. We walk this year from Lisbon from mid-October to November. We're concerned about finding accommodations that time of year.Last year it didn't rain until I hit Porto but then, it rained frequently but in small amounts in the Galicia valleys.

I too will probably walk from Lisbon in October, just waiting for the answer from my friend, but I am not concern about finding accomodations., CaminoMatt 73 could tell.Would like to talk with you more about that experience.

There is worst addictions than that one!After Norte route, I'll walk Portugal again. Probably start late October. My flight back to Ottawa isn't until November 16. I'll walk two Caminos for the third time in 14 months. (Addicted)
Maybe I should re-phrase that. I do know there are alternatives where to stay. Having done the Frances, I guess we are a little anxious about the support (or lack of it). Also whether we'll see any other pilgrims! When are you going?I too will probably walk from Lisbon in October, just waiting for the answer from my friend, but I am not concern about finding accomodations., CaminoMatt 73 could tell.
I am still not sure when. It could be around Oct. 2nd or the latest, Oct. 8. Nevertheless, I am positive that everything should be fine, with the support you need at the time you need it. You can read what Lavdrum just wrote me and I believe his words might help you to get rid of a bit of anxiety.Maybe I should re-phrase that. I do know there are alternatives where to stay.

Hi,
I left Lisbon on Oct.5th 2016. I walked all the way to Santiago finishing about Nov. 5th. The weather was fine most of the time-rain on 3 occasions and then only for a few hours each time. About 10 other pilgrims on the same level as I was. No problem finding accommodation, usually stayed in pilgrim Albergues when available which was most of the time. After Porto it was a bit busier but never any problem with accommodation and I only booked Porto and Santiago accommodation in advance. I found the walk really pleasant overall with ideal temperatures for walking. I brought a light sleeping bag which I used about half the time. Great sense of camaraderie among pilgrims on this Camino and no problem linking up with others to walk with if that is what you want. Seemed very safe to me as it is quite populated and not as remote as the Via de la Plata is. Very good pilgrim infrastructure by way of café-bars, shops etc on this Camino as well. Enjoy your walk!
Bonjour Gislaine, nice to see an Ottawa face on here. I don't have an answer to your Lisbon departure but my wife and I did Porto to Santiago in Feb 2015 and can provide info on that stretch. We would be glad to touch base with you and as per your activity log, we are also interested in doing the Rota, in early 2018.

What a pleasure, indeed! As I mentionned earlier, I will walk again next year with 3 friends, Via de la Plata and chemin du Portugal, which will be Sept. and Oct. 2018 and yes, the Rota seems quite interesting. So many interesting places to walk.
I am a member since 2005, know few people from the Association, went to many meetings and still do when possible. I get their emails when a new meeting is coming, etc...Are you familiar with the local Camino association called Du Québec a Compostelle? Their next meeting is on Sept 9th in Gatineau and the QC web site is www.duquebecacompostelle.org
Well, there is worst invasion in the worldWe are walking from Cascais (just west of Lisbon) to Porto on the coast in three weeks. Here are our daily goals; the hotels are samples for distance but we made no bookings. There are several choices of hotel in each town we marked but no albergues. Follow our progress in the blog when we arrive in Lisbon Sept 20.

The title 'canadianinvasion' was from an old post of my motorcycle trip to Nova Scotia. I never changed the name but kept travel-blogging...Well, there is worst invasion in the world. I wish you all a great journey with that Camino and thanks for your blog.

There are actually two options, one follows the coast, one goes a little closer than the "main" Caminho.
