    davejsy reacted to HBS60's post in the thread One month out…this is getting real! with Buen Camino! Buen Camino!.
    Greetings, fellow pilgrims! Here’s an update for my plans to do the Camino Francés from SJPDP, with a few points I haven’t quite resolved yet. Some of them are on the “dumb question” category, so please bear with me… Here’s what I have so far: I...

    @HBS60 , in addition to the reassurance and tips offered above, might I point out that most of the time the sun will be behind you - which seems to help me. Psychological ? I don't know. In terms of coping mechanisms I ensure I've got something...

    Just a couple things to keep in mind for your successful Camino: 1. You will hit some hot weather, but very reasonable humidity. Like so many of your fellow pilgrims, start early and try to finish early afternoon. I’ve always liked walking just...

    It is generally hottest after mid-day. That's why a lot of people get up very early to walk. You may want to limit your mileage due to weather conditions and it is important to drink a lot of water. We try to walk shorter distances and don't walk...

    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...

    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...

    Greetings all, I completed the Camino de Santiago solo on July 30, 2018 and it was a wonderful, life changing experience. I leave soon for Lisbon to walk the Fisherman's Trail followed by the Portuguese Camino. I'm undecided if I'll start from...

    I think the only argument that people will win is the fact that the spirit of Albergue accommodation is for those who have an intention to make their way ultimately to Santiago at some point (in the case of the CF). In terms of the OP I think...
