That is very gracious, and there might be some that take you up directly on your offer. My practice is to set up specific forum areas that I watch. So, for example, you might go to the Routes in Portugal forum page, and select Caminho COASTAL FROM PORTO (incl. Senda Lit.) from the list of forum pages, and then click on Watch towards the top of the page. You will then get a dialog box with some options about what you want to be notified about, and how.

New notifications that meet your criteria will result in a red marker beside the bell icon in the menu bar at the top of the page.

I'd love to know how the weather was on Camino Portugues in March?

I'm curious how may people were there along the way?

It rained pretty much, I would say 50% of the route. The temperatures from +4 to +20 C, rain poncho + umbrella worked well. You only need to think about your shoes as there were problems with making them dry over the night (my Crocs saved me!)

Not sure how many people you may see in warm months, but most of the places where you would like to stay for a night were full

Hi!
Thank you.
I plan to walk early March as well. So I'm curious for that specific time of year

That wasn't very easy, but I liked the trip and that time of the year! Is that your first time?

Yes it is! Thanks for answering. I'm very excited (and a little bit nervous).

Yeah! I wonder; what kind of layers for your upper body did you bring and/or need?
And did you bring rain pants?
