Web sites with maps of the Caminho from Lisboa to Santiago

[peregrina2000]

In case there are people who like maps who haven't seen this website, I thought I'd post a link. It has maps of the entire route, with commentary in Spanish. I haven't studied it in detail, but thought it looked like a pretty good source.

Nope, I've never seen it, BUT, i think that it's very well marked, especially because it has the Google Maps thing to view.

Just didn't like to see the so many big stages in there. Probably it's not updated with all the information’s for accommodation that Via Lusitana has on their website. And since there are a lot of cyclists on the pictures, I think that they are cycling stages. But I don't know. I think that some are too much.

Best Regards

Good point, Diogo. You know, I think many people are discouraged from starting in Lisbon because of what they think are stages that are too long. I think a good project would be for me to work on a possible itinerary and see if I can work out stages in the 25 km range. And then I'll send it to you for correction before posting it, what do you think? Laurie

Informação optimo (o optima amigo meu ?)

Laurie wrote on the camino ingles thread a minute ago there are a lot of problems due to last weeks thunderstorm. Trees felt down. A lot of mud. Didn't we met this kind of problems last year with indunations of the rio Tejo ? So we'll keep an eye on it and if not so, we de ide to walk to Fisterre or a part of the caminho da Costa, starting f.ex. In Viana do Castelo. We will see . We still have sbout 7 weeks from now. Busy making preps and training a lot for the best shape.

Um abraço disso margem do rio

Probably you have seen it, but this year it was diferent. They say that we didn't had a Winter like this for years. Long years! I'm walking about 8km per day to prepare myself. I have only 2 weeks until my Caminho!

Um grande abraço da margem esquerda do Tejo.

Hi Laurie, I would be interested in your projekt - will you add accomodation to the stages. I case you need some kind of response, I'm walking from Lissabon in June and I will be happy to help in any way, I can.

I have started to take a crack at this. The real problem I see is not finding ways to break up stages into shorter stages (although there are some of those problems, too) but the fact that some of the stages that are broken up only have expensive accommodations as an alternative. I will be working on this and Diogo has offered to help, so I'm sure we'll come up with something. Bom caminho, Laurie

Hi Laurie, I shall be leaving Lisbon on 1 May, can you keep me in the loop? Many thanks.

Hi, magwood (and others interested in shorter stages), What's your maximum kms per day?

Are you willing to get into a vehicle?

Seems to me there are two different ways to take motorized transportation.

1. You can use it to jump ahead (ex -- you've done 22 kms, you're at your maximum, there's no accommodation for 15 more kms, so you get a ride; the next day you just continue on)

OR

2. You can us it to break up a long stage in two, but you make sure to come back to where you left off to continue. (ex.: you walk 20 kms, the accommodation is 15 kms away, you get a ride to the accommodation, and the next day you get a ride back to where you left off and you continue).

I'm trying to figure out a sensible way to put together a document that would help people who want to walk from Lisbon but for whom the 32 km stages are deal-breakers. It just so happens that there are lots of motorized transport options to help out, but I am not so sure about what the mindset of the average "transportation user" is, which makes it harder to write up the document.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Bom caminho, Laurie

Hi Laurie, I am hoping that I will be able to walk 30+ km for the first few days, but am realistic and will not be too hard on myself, and if I need to give up early, then so be it. So the transport there and back again idea would work for me.

I have read all the blogs and reports that I can find about the Portuguese route from Lisbon, and unfortunately the majority are quite negative, but for some reason I am drawn to walk this route. I really appreciate all the effort you are taking to make life a bit easier for those of us walking from Lisbon and if I can be of any help with producing a document, please let me know. I am a dab hand at word processing.

AMSimōes, please excuse my ignorance, but how do I make use of these maps on my ipad when I am walking and I don't have a SIM card, therefore no internet connection? I will have a phone with data, but it will be easier for me to look at the larger screen of my ipad.
Thanks for your help

Ciao Laurie ~
I probably get in motion from Lisboa around May 5th or 6th - and will take some transport out of the city , or perhaps friends will ride with me out there - as I've been in Lisboa 2 yrs ago and the way out is asphalt for many many kilometers on heavy traffic roads, and that's not how intend to start off this pilgrimage.
And 30km during the first few days? forget about it ... won't happen
Any info you might be able to provide for 'in between accommodation' would be MARVELOUS. Or even options for train/bus.
Would it be useful to you if i were to make notes on stops I am making (cafe's, accommodations, road conditions?) - please let me know what would be especially helpful. I will take along an iPad-mini and perhaps be able to send you notes when i find wifi.
Will be arriving in L. on Apr27th - don't know where you are, but if you are in town, we might be able to meet and plot a strategy how to capture info, etc.
Kind Regards,
Claudia

Hi, Claudia, I am working on this and am getting close. I will definitely have something done in a week or two. I'm hoping to have a short document with info on all transportation options, ways to break up stages, etc. This will be a supplement to the Confraternity online guide.

The owners of the pilgrim places in Santarem, Alviaizere, and Tomar have been contacted and are all willing to help out with a lift at the end of the day (or at the start of the day) for those who don't want to tackle the 30+ days. So I will try to publicize all of that information.

Have you seen the online guides of the British Confraternity of St. James? I have just finished updates to both documents but they are still not online so if you PM me with an email address I can send you word document versions of the revisions. (they will be put in "booklet form" on line).

If you use those guides as a basis, and annotate with updates of any of the things you mention, it would be tremendously helpful. I haven't walked from Lisbon since 2009, but I have received very helpful updates from people who have gone in the interim, so it keeps things up to date.

I wish I were in Lisbon, but I am located in the midwestern US and won't be back in Lisbon for another year. Buen camino, Laurie

Dear Laurie - this sounds good. Shall contact you w/ my email info! - Thanks mucho!
And yes, have seen the BritConf of StJames. Downloaded the docs last summer. I'd appreciate any/all updates.
Cheers
