    2023 Costs of Caminho Portugues Central (Ex Porto)

    It's not like there were tonnes of options/Happy Cow listings in each place, but I certainly found it helpful! And if you want to be good vegan Samaritan, please add any places you find on the way with vegan options to the app! 😀 Here is my list I made on Happy Cow...

    Advice needed: Managing a large blister on the heel

    Thank you all so much for your responses! You're right - I'm sure I'm going to get more conflicting info! 🙈 was feeling quite desperate when I posted this!

    Advice needed: Managing a large blister on the heel

    I have seen conflicting info on threads and I am on day 7 but on the the Portuguese costal route staying in Baiona, skipping tomorrow and taking the bus to Vigo. I've developed a HUGE blister on my heel, currently unpopped. Not sure what to do with it! To drain or not to drain... I don't have...
