[QUOTE="surya8, post: 798877, member: 75133"] Well, if you walk the Portugues Coastal in May you may need to book ahead as it's a busy season there and the route is popular. If you are looking for peace and quiet there then maybe consider taking Variante Espiritual after Pontevedra. The route is very scenic, it is usually done in 2 days, there is a monastery there at the end of the first day. The 3rd day most people take a boat ride to Pontecesures, you will see crosses near the water there. Espiritual is a bit hilly but not difficult. You won't need heavy hiking boots for the Coastal as the route is easy, no mountains there so trail runners/runners would do there. As for training for the Portugues Coastal or Central you really don't need a special sports routine, you just need stamina. I am not into any sports at all and I often get tickets just days before flying off, so walked many Caminos in Portugal without any training whatsoever. The only matter is to get the shoes which are comfortable to walk in for you and try to carry a backpack with the weight that you are planning to carry. If it's possible try to integrate walking with some weights into your regular life, just when running errands and the like. Bom Caminho! :) [/QUOTE]
