That's the same route I took in 2017 at the age of 69. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.June 1st. Two pensioners walking slow and easy on our 2nd camino. Starting Porto then heading in to the central route from Vila do conde
Have a wonderful Camino!June 1st. Two pensioners walking slow and easy on our 2nd camino. Starting Porto then heading in to the central route from Vila do conde
I love it because that is my plan as well. I am not retired yet but I am 63. Some days will be less than 10 km but of course I have 5 weeks to complete the walk from Porto to Santiago de Compostela.Thank you. Yes, we will do. Weâll certainly have time to do updates cos weâre planning on taking it reeeeal easy, take time out to enjoy it and to wish âbuen caminoâ to all those who will no doubt overtake us.
Obviously, each place has a limited number of beds. If there's somewhere special that you want to stay, like Fernanda's then yes, you should make a reservation.Walked from Porto and then inland at Vila do Conde in 2017. Planned to split the long stretch - Barcelos to Peunte da Lima at Casa da Fernando (no booking). It was raining and the casa was full. Fernando rang ahead trying to secure a bed but nothing. Ended up sharing a taxi to Peunte da Lima. Looks like booking ahead is now the norm
Fortunately, they can also be found north of Porto. I'm starting my next Camino in Lisbon to maximize the number of days that I will be able to eat pasteis de nata.Everyone enjoy the beautiful PortugalâŠ.but do not, under any circumstances, leave Porto without trying as many Pasteis de Nata as you can! These custard tartsâŠ.incredible!
I have a Portuguese colleague at work and she makes them every day for a local bakery and brings in what she considers her "seconds", or rejects and the staff just love it.Everyone enjoy the beautiful PortugalâŠ.but do not, under any circumstances, leave Porto without trying as many Pasteis de Nata as you can!

Meant Torino.Age only a mindset. Just finished a solo trip on the VF from Toledo to Rome on April 4. 1020 km in 35 stages at age 71. Lots of 30 km plus days and hills. Just walk and enjoy.
