    Rough In Planning Support

    However, each and everyone of us is free to walk and plan our own Camino as we see fit, what makes one persons Camino perfect may not be the choice of another, your Camino is yours, my Camino is mine. We walked from Lisboa to Santiago last year, and there were times when I wish we had planned a...

    Asthma on Camino Portuguése warning

    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    Using the same pair of Merrels that I used last year on the Franćes, and they seem to be holding up well!

    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    Yep, totally agree, my Merrels are perfect, the sole is flexible, yet thick enough to cushion out most of the stones. Andy & Debbie currently in Alvaiazere, on Camino Portuguese.

    First stop out of Lisbon, Camino Portuguese.

    Hi one and all, have watched numerous YouTube videos of peregrines walking from Lisbon to Santiago, however no one seems to mention where they stopped on their first night. I have both the John Brierly book and also the Ivar book, and have done loads of research, however I have seen on Google...
