    That's a great combination, @Camino Chrissy did the same thing a few years ago. I am (sort of) Portuguese (but really Australian like you), and have walked both of those routes separately. The Fisherman's Trail is spectacular and a great way to...

    Here are a few of my numerous photos of the Fisherman's Trail to whet your appetite, although it has almost no Camino feel. I chose the Central route out of Porto afterward to remind me more of the Camino Frances with more villages and vineyards...

    Day 7 - Ribadavia to Feas (29 km, about 700 m up). My GPS spontaneously paused itself for a few kms, so my tracks have a straight line for a little more than a km. But I noted when I recorded them that it shouldn’t cause a problem - obvious...

    I would tend to agree with both @peregrina2000 and @jungleboy that it is well worth spending the afternoon/evening in Ribadavia. Churches, the castle, a lovely river walkway, the Jewish quarter . . . Leaving Cortegada it's uphill (not steep at...

    Day 6 - Cortegada to Ribadavia (via the lovely pre-romanesque church of San Xes) 19 km, 345 m elevation gain Easy stage, lots of it along the side of the river. Not much in the way of up or down. My pictures show that there were vineyards...

    Leaving town, take the left immediately after Hotel Castrum Villae. It is about 5km to the border (and another kilometre to Azoreira, the first village on the Galician side) and it’s not well signed. Azoreira After Azoreira, the camino follows...

    OK, here we go! This is a long stage (28 kms), so - as I mentioned about yesterday's stage - make sure you've stocked up with enough supplies in Castro Laboreiro. Plenty of fountains on the way for water. If you look at the profile you 'lose'...

    @Kathar1na has just given us the “Backpack Transfer Coda” , and with a conductorial flourish I will close the thread.

    Five years ago, June 2019 I carried a stone from Texas to the Camino for my Grandmother. She passed before I walked my first Camino in 2017 but I believe she would have loved hearing about my walk. I knew exactly where I would leave it, walking...

    You can get those individual portions too - like those jam packets in hotels. It's actually not a bad choice - you actually need the fat and sugar! Remember we are long distance walking which is completely different to normal life. Figures...
