Mid May to mid June 2023. Lisbon to Santiago.
Planning to walk The Rota Vicentina North to South, then onto the Camino Nascente from Tavira , on reaching Transco will join the Camino Torres. This is hopefully take place next March. Have found plenty of information on The Rota Vicentina ( I realise it is not a Camino but looks interesting , coming from NZ, I want to make it worth my while ). Very little information on the Camino Nascente or the Torres I prefere to use guide books rather than GPS to find my way.
Has anyone walked the Nascente followed by the Torres ? Any information would be great fully received. Many thanks

I think I have! ;)

Your plan is amazing. Bom caminho!

There is a free Wise Pilgrim community app for the Nascente that you can download. Alternatively, the web version starts here:


There is also an official guide for the Alentejo stages of the Nascente.

I recently finished walking the Rota Vicentina: while not a camino, it is a glorious trail with stunning views. The route is mostly well-waymarked, but GPS backup was helpful in a few spots. We booked our lodgings in advance, which worked out well for us. There's also a good luggage transfer service (https://www.vicentinatransfers.pt/) in case you're interested. I hadn't heard of the Nascente/Torres trails before, so will look them up!

Noticed you walked the Camino Portugues last year. I also completed it last year walking from Lisbon. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
