  Thank you so much @LTfit ! Yes, some folks report the sand wasn't too bad. Right now I'm thinking of switching up the order and starting in Sagres and going north and seeing how far we can go. I try not to start a walk with the hardest walking on...

  Thank you so much @towanda1961, that's super helpful! I've learned to expect the extremes, too, with climate crisis. When we walked the Via Francigena last April in Tuscany, I was expecting cooler temps and we had some days around 35C and...

  So important to "know thy limits"! Last winter I had some injuries and learned the lesson of adjusting/modifying (not easy for me). I am happy to hear you could still enjoy the walk and found it to be magnificent!

  My family invited me to join them on their walk in October. I accepted and ended up with a fatigue fracture in my left foot. The two younger generations (late fifties and early teens) found it hard, but did not really have a problem. There were...

  Thanks, all, super helpful! Yes, I read that about the first two days out of Porto Covo, with the sand. I also read they are some of the most beautiful, when walking SOBO.
