I hope you've seen gracethepilgrim's account in the resource section from Viseu. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/cpi-camino-portuguese-interior-route-notes.441/
I would very much love to be on this Caminho one day in the not too distant future. Sounds like a wonderful Caminho, Mendi! Bom Caminho, Laurie

With me it's more J R R Tolkien:

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

But Willie Nelson is hard to beat!

I thought Redondela was a lovely town - have a good Camino

So happy to hear of your plans! Bom Caminho!

Willie Nelson´s song "On The Road Again" slowly creeps into my head and gets me planning our Camino. This one will be Camino number 6. It will also be our first Camino which we will repeat or or join part of another one walked before.

My wife and I walked the Camino Portugues de la Coast back in 2010 ( Holy Year). It was our first time to pass thru the Holy Door too. This year we shall walk the Camino Portugues de Interior. Both these Camino join in the town of Redondela. But this year we shall add the Variante Espiritual. And if possible take the boat ride. And we shall pass thru the Holy Door once again as it is open ( Year of Mercy).

I have booked our plane tickets earlier this evening and can´t wait for summer to arrive.

I would like to thank everyone for all the information regarding the Variante Espiritual specially @Albertinho , @Charrito and @Theatregal for their help.

Ondo Ibili !

I think you meant to walk the central route of the caminho Português !
The interior route of the caminho Português starts nearby Coimbra and leads at the east side of Portugal to Viseu and Lamego to Ourense where it hits the Via de la Plata to Santiago so never hits in Redondela the coastal Portuguese route.. That does the Central route .

I couldn't get 'Livin' On A Prayer' out of my head when I was walking.

@Albertinho

Yes , you are right , my friend. My mistake.

Ondo Ibili !

Oh, Drats, I thought you were walking the Interior! Maybe next time MendiWalker, because that is supposed to be beautiful!

Happy Eastern Laurie.
Within 4 weeks we are off for Portugal.
However we do not walk any caminho this time. Nel has some problems with her hips and cannot carry a backpack this time. We intend to walk some short walks in Alentejo or round Viseu.
After that we go to Lisbon. Maybe we will see Diogo and Aurelio for a drink or so and then slowly go north along the coast and end up at Fernanda's to give her a hand in the albergue.we are about 2 months from home .
We hope to see a part of the interior by car .
Next year when everything is better we hope to walk from Florence to Roma for a change.

Well. Best regards from this side of the world
Abraço

The song that goes through my head is the Proclaimers: "But I will walk 500 miles..."
