I was wondering if anyone else will be walking the Camino from Lisbon around the time I will be.

Is anyone else leaving from Lisbon around the same time as me?

By any chance will you be posting about your experience? Not walking then but would be interested in hearing about scenery, infrastructure, etc.

Hi Maureen,
My wife and me walked Camino from Lisabon via Fatima to Santiago last year in June. It took us 22 days to get to Santiago. We had a very nice weather for a hiking with a lot of cloudy days. You have to take into account fact that drinking water is not available as on Frances way and albergue is not on every 5 to 10 K. Scenery is fantastic, especially stretch from Porto on coastal way.

Thank you Goran. We're going earlier in the year, so hopefully it won't be too hot. We'll be careful about the drinking water.

You may already know, but I want to be sure you are aware that April 25 is a holiday-celebrating the end of the Salazar regime. I would be sure to have a reservation for your first night and maybe the whole weekend.
