Second Camino: this time Caminho Portugues

[Suzanne S.]

Hi everyone!

I walked the Camino Frances in May of 2015, and am excited to be walking the Camino Portuguese in May 2017. I'm still debating my starting point but it will be Lisbon, Coimbra or Porto, depending on whether or not I decide to get back to Finisterre after Santiago.

Would love to know who else will be walking the Portuguese at that time and what your route plans are!

Have fun on your second camino. We are doing our second, the Portuguese Caminho, in 2018. So one years difference from you sorry. It looks different from the Camino Frances one (which we completed this year). We plan to start in Lisbon and to go to Finisterre before Santiago. Not sure if we are doing the coast or central walk at the moment but we have time to plan. Enjoy your planning and keep us up to date on your Caminho. Kind regards, Connie and Adriano

Hi Suzanne,

I will be starting my first Camino either in the 10th or 11th from Lisbon! I plan to do the central route to Tomar then bus over to Fatima then head north back on the central route to Porto. Leaving Porto I'm looking at the coastal route variation to Rates and then onward to Santiago. Still deciding if I will have time to hit the end of the world.

I speak the language and have family along the way I probably will be visiting for a day or two in Porto. I'm going solo but look forward to meeting other piligrinos along the way!

Cheers!

Daniel

Hi Suzanne
I'm leaving Lisbon early April. Haven't decided which way and will probably let the Way decide as I go along. There will be a list of things to do and places to see but this will be a leisurely saunter to Santiago. I have learnt to take pleasure in the taking of pleasure.
Regards
Gerard

Daniel, perhaps our paths will cross. I will be the peregrinations who speaks no Portuguese...

Everyone who is starting from Lisbon -- be sure to check out the forum/CSJ guides in the Resources section. One for Lisbon to Porto and the other from Porto to Santiago. These have been compiled based on the reports of many forum members and CSJ members and are pretty up to date! Bom caminho, Laurie

 

[Suzanne S.]

Absolutely, Laurie! I have a couple bookmarked!!!

The pope will be in Fatima on May 13. That may be something to see.

Lisbon is a beautiful city. The cities and towns appear much different from Spain but are nice towns. I've been told by many that walk in between Lisbon and Coimbra is somewhat undesirable but yet, I liked it. I was told this path has improved but there is very little community support. The further north, the better the support but if you miss Coimbra, then you miss a nice city.

 

[Suzanne S.]

Thanks Matt! I do plan on seeing Coimbra. I'm not sure yet about Fatima.

I am doing my second Camino (did Frances in 2016) starting from Lisbon. I arrive May 2 and will likely spend a couple days there before I launch off. I may let a good weather window help with the departure date ! Happy to try to meet in Lisbon to at least day hello to a fellow Perragrino Bob

 

[Suzanne S.]

That would be cool! My friend, Dianne, from Canada will be there too. Let's stay in touch!

 

[Robert Nystrom]

Would love it! I'm on (another) solo trip. My Facebook info is in my profile - easier to message there. Search Raven Man Portland, Oregon and look for this same pic.

Hi, Suzanne! I will be starting May 8 from Porto. So far, I haven't found anyone who will be there at the same time. Hope to see you!

 

[Suzanne S.]

Hi Sarah!

My friend, Dianne from Canada will be walking too! We met in 2015 on the CF.

Did I see somewhere that you're from California?

[Sarah Olson]

Yes, I'm in Monterey County.
I guess I need to fill in my info...

Not a big deal! I'm in Sacramento. I'll private message you.

I am still planning to walk - I arrive in Lisbon on the 3rd of May and will likely leave Lisbon on about the 7th of May.

Dad (who is 75) and I started last year out of Coimbra, walking into Santiago. This year we are starting in Porto to Finisterre on 3rd May and think we will do the coastal route. We loved it so much it has drawn us there again. We walked the Camino Francis in 2013 & 2014. So if you see a father and daughter from Australia say hi!!!! Xx
