We have tickets to Lisbon for May 28. Does anybody know a specific source where up-to-date information can be found about government regulations and the lifting of restrictions in Portugal? It seems we may have to wait until the last possible date with cancellation as many European countries now implement new reopening strategies.
There is a few people walking now. And there is accommodation all the way to the Spanish border. The municipal albergues are not open though. They will be the last to open.
But call Miguel from Albergue de Peregrinos do Porto. They are starting to open up and just got affordable private rooms. He can also help you finding accommodation along the route - he knows what is open.
And you might want to make a reservation in Porto too.

Bom Caminho,

Hey Andy, thanks so much
This is great to hear! I'm hanging out to go on camino. If I started walking mid June it might be a bit risky as to whether we will be able to cross over into Spain by the time we reach the border. What do you all think? I'm thinking of camping along the way so as to avoid pricey hostels.

ThanksAnthikes, that was a very helpful info. will be in portugal from the 17th of june and start making my way up north than. buen camino.I live in Portugal and things are definitely progressing here and I know of a couple of albergues that have been open for a while now.
From Monday the 'Civic duty to stay at home' officially ends, so non essential travel is absolutely fine now. Reality is that a lot of people here have been travelling, going away for weekends etc for a while now anyway, but I thought I'd wait until it was official.
So it's good news. So many people wrote off this year but I remained optimistic that things could happen on the camino front. Just have to wait for the Spanish border to open now. I did read that might be from mid June, fingers crossed.

Paraphrasing the Portuguese official: Given that the Spanish authorities have said there won't be internal freedom of movement before July 1st, we probably have to keep the border closed for all of June."Se as próprias autoridades espanholas já disseram que antes de 01 de julho não haverá liberdade de circulação, provavelmente temos de manter encerrada a fronteira terrestre todo este mês de junho", admitiu o ministro da Administração Interna, Eduardo Cabrita.
