The Fishermen's Trail, the coastal route of the Rota Vicentina, starts at São Torpes, about 120km south of Lisbon (nearby Sines and Porto Covo are reachable by bus from Lisbon or if you'd rather take no transport, you could look into walking Lisbon-São Torpes). From São Torpes it's 13 listed stages on the Rota Vicentina along the coast via Sagres at the southwestern most point of Europe to Lagos. The Sagres-Lagos stretch overlaps with an ecovia that you can walk all along the Algarve (south) coast of Portugal to Vila Real de Santo António, across the river from Spain. I'm not sure what you'd do from there but that would get you started at least!Any suggestions for the Lisbon to Barcelona route?

Perhaps you are fortunate enough to be a dual citizen. Have fun planning. That is so much of the fun.As an American you are limited to only 90 days in Europe.

I know!...and they are lucky ducksSome of the people on this forum can walk from home.
Their original posting said they were from Ft. Collins, CO.?? Their profile shows that they are from Holland.
To continue on from this point along the coast of Spain, here's a recent GPX track that will take you from Ayamonte (across the river from Vila Real de Santo António to Tarifa where the excellent GR7/E4 route begins. Along the way, you will cross the Parque Nacional de Doñana, 30 kilometers of untouched wild beach, best walked on the firm sand at low tide, with a boat ride on a ferry across the Rio Guadalquiver to Sanlúcar de Barrameda at the end of the day. It is a glorious walk!The Sagres-Lagos stretch overlaps with an ecovia that you can walk all along the Algarve (south) coast of Portugal to Vila Real de Santo António, across the river from Spain.

Another suggestion: The Camino Norte to Santiago, then the Camino Frances in reverse, and then continue to Rome on the Aragones, Arles, Aurelia and Della Costa.Eventually, we think that we’ll end up in Rome.
You’re correct. It’s been a while since I posted. We’re now in the Netherlands.?? Their profile shows that they are from Holland.
In isn’t of. So, are you subject to Schengen visa limits or free as the proverbial? Knowledge qualifies advice. As in I would never advise an innocent to test the echo in the Reading Room of the British Library but I would give that advice to one who should know betterYou’re correct. It’s been a while since I posted. We’re now in the Netherlands.
As you say 90 days but that is visa free, they can get a visa and stay longerAs an American you are limited to only 90 days in Europe.
Yes, but you can do everything on time by busAs an American you are limited to only 90 days in Europe.
You’re very astute! The corona regulations have been areal impediment to our “Europe“ plans.I'm only laughing 'cos, as an ex-public servant, I can recognize a slide when I see one. I spent my career trying to get a straight answer out of a safety-pin
Thru 2022. You might make it all the way round. Buen Caminos
What a great idea!Another suggestion: The Camino Norte to Santiago, then the Camino Frances in reverse, and then continue to Rome on the Aragones, Arles, Aurelia and Della Costa.
This is so sadAs an American you are limited to only 90 days in Europe.
It would require a multilateral agreement which I don't think would go over well in the US. We would have to allow Europeans the same luxury to visit here. There are alternatives but most of them require investments in real estate of a certain amount.This is so sad. When things calm down a bit around the world I would love to get a visa to stay in Spain for at least a year.
It is possible to get an extended stay in the US. On the Appalachian Trail I've met an Mexican and an Austrian who got extended stays of six months to be able to hike the entire trail.It would require a multilateral agreement which I don't think would go over well in the US. We would have to allow Europeans the same luxury to visit here.
