HI Nicholls,You've had some good advice.
I'm walking Lisbon to Porto in three weeks time, having completed Porto to SdC in 2011. I'm anticipating problems of accommodation, and will probably have to use small hotels for much of the way initially. Thereafter I don't have a problem taking a bus to help me to the next stop. Or the train - if you look at the map, the railway runs close to the camino for quite a bit of the way.
My friend Diogo says the trains are fairly frequent.
I'm happy with 20 km stages, but not more.
I shall take a load of pictures, and probably write up a diary on my return. You can see my diary/pictures for the Porto to SdC pilgrimage on my web site.
Buen camino!
Point your sword to these Portuguese daredevils and they will respect you dearly especially when you wear your helmet.We have a reputation for daredevil drivers here in Quebec, but after walking only a few days in Portugal I think we are very meek! Having a car or semi truck brushing by you by only a few inches is very scary!
I agree with you . Portuguese are very kind people but once behind the steeringwheel they are like devils. Over the years I drove many many miles with my car and towed on campingtrailer and experienced some strange "art" of acting from the Portuguese drivers. Sometimes they try to merge in between my car and hooked on trailer !I did not have my sword, but my girlfriend almost ran a motorcyclist through with her walking stick when he was heading straight for us on the side of the road!
