      I’m doing the Primitivo from Lugo Sept 10. Did the first part a couple of years ago. Wonderful Don’t know how many will be walking it but it won’t be empty

      Apologies, it was just the pricing and for some reason Spain was expensive so I've traveled by the bus system in Portugal and Spain and its reliable and frequent. Besides on the return journey, Porto is closer from Santiago vs Madrid.

      Yay! Glad I jumped in when everything else was trending Porto - hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I find myself thinking about it all the time and am eager to go back. I had thought to go this fall, but we moved to a new house in June and...

      The Camino is so addictive, isn't it? I've been waiting to go back and so happy it'll be in a couple weeks from now. No disrespect to everyone's comments as they didn't know I'm planning the Portuguese next year with a friend group I met on the...

      Walking from Porto seemed logical and I was up for that. I was in Porto 3 days last year after my Camino and love the city and the people. My friends want to do the Portuguese next year so I'm resisting walking it now. The Primitivo is...

      I haven't done Porto, but my first Camino included the Primitivo in Spring 2023 and am longing to return, so if you don't mind the extra travel to get to Oviedo, and you are prepared for the elevation gain and solitude, you might enjoy that, plus...

      Since you have 3-4 weeks to walk how about taking the train down to Coimbra or Tomar to start on the Camino Portuguese. https://www.gronze.com/camino-portugues If you still have time after Santiago you can walk to Fisterra and/or Muxía, or...

      If you are arriving in Porto then the main Portugues route passes a couple of km from the airport. Why not join that? It will be busy - numbers on the Portugues are growing rapidly and it may soon rival the Frances in numbers.
