Portuguese Camino in October

[Catherine O'Connor]

Hi all, just booked my flight for Lisbon on October 2nd and will be returning to Ireland on October 16th from Porto. Will start walking on the 3rd. Just wondering where i would find an up to date list of albergues for Lisbon to Porto. Also wondering what the weather would be like in October. Thanks in advance. Jerry.

The Via Lusitana website will likely be up to date, as will the 2017 Brierley guide book.

How far are you intending to walk within 12 or 13 days ?
Are you starting in Lisbon or Porto ?
From Lisbon on the central route it is a 28 to 30 days walk to Santiago.
From Porto it is 12 to 14 days depending on your pace and daily distance.

last year the weather was glorious in Portugal in early October, but it could (and should) rain...

Hi Albertinho. Heading over to Lisbon on October 2nd and heading home from Porto on the 16th. I am hoping to get to Porto by then if not a little beyond.
The plan is to hopefully return at a later stage and head to Santiago and maybe do the English route as well.
I will be walking on my own so would hope to do around 40km each day, with a stop in Fatima along the way. Not sure about the weather in October but it couldn't be any worse than the french route in 2013.
