      gns reacted to Kevin Considine's post in the thread Aging On The Camino with Like Like.
      Like many of my Camino buddies, the years are passing away and while I am not done, I do wonder how many more Caminos are in this 69 year old body. Having walked over 13,000 kilometers on The Camino since that late August day in 2015 when I...

      2 November 2024 The Camino Torres is not named after towers; it is named after Diego de Torres Vilarroel, who is said to have walked it on his pilgrimage to Santiago. But don't let the pilgrimage fool you, he had quite the reputation, and not...

      gns replied to the thread Braga to Ponte de Lima.
      I walked from Braga to Ponte de Lima in 2019 and as far as I recall the marking was fine. The Portuguese site for the Torres has details of the albergue although I did it in one day. https://www.caminhodetorres.pt/?it=pontoi_dn&co=811

      gns reacted to kenwilltravel's post in the thread Civil war memorials with Like Like.
