    Albergues List Camino Finisterre

    That's super Tincatinker, thank you! I'm lucky to have all March '24 at my disposal, and live a few hours coach ride from Santiago, so my main goal is to move quickly if a week or so's good weather crops up in that window. But good to know about Holy Week, thanks again

    Albergues List Camino Finisterre

    Thank you dbier, I'll bear that in mind. I plan to use albergues where possible and comfortable. Otherwise no problem if I need to use pensions or small hotels.

    Starting September 8, booking accommodation

    Hi Albertagirl, thank you for your comment. Your overall plan looks very similar to the approach we'll use, and from looking at all the info I've gathered over past days, it seems a very suitable middle-ground approach. We'll use the MiamMiam guides, and I picked up an online summary guide in...

    Starting September 8, booking accommodation

    Hi jouffroy47, that's super, thank you - pretty much aligns with what we are thinking, based on the info so far. We're aiming for 4 maybe 5 days ahead or so. Of course there's a possibility of surprises, but we're well used to those, have about a decade's general Camino experience and love the...

    Starting September 8, booking accommodation

    Hi It56ny, yes, we'll certainly be booking ahead. We're just trying the gauge the balance between undercooking and overegging that. We've got quite a few years 'other' Camino experience, we very much like the 'adventure' element, and we're flexible. So we're comfortable with a 'middle-ground'...

    Starting September 8, booking accommodation

    Hi Lexicos, The same question on another forum provided some interesting and informed replies. Have a look at the private FB Group 'Camino - Via Podiensis - GR 65 - Chemin du Puy-en-Velay'. Naturally, can't expect a definitive reply and approaches varied a lot. But from that info so far it seems...

    Starting September 8, booking accommodation

    Hi everyone, How many days ahead should we book accommodation (2 people), based on starting in Le Puy on September 8, 2022 ? We'd be very grateful for a current consensus on this issue from pilgrims who have begun the Podiensis just after the summer holidays (about the same date of the year)...

    Povoa de Varzim to Rates

    Hi Duayne, Sorry for late reply - unfortunately I don't often visit the forum now, since we actually live in Povoa de Varzim! We're both well over 60 (so young!) and have done the Vila do Conde to Rates in a day, no problem. A lot depends on the temperatures during the day, as you can imagine...

    Povoa de Varzim to Rates

    Have done several Caminho 'routes' from Porto to Rates over the past few years. My partner and I also cycle the now 'paved all the way' cycleway (about 14km) from Povoa metro station to Rates and beyond regularly, most recently yesterday. We were just wondering why pilgrims don't use it more as...

    Did this section in Sept 2017, excellent boardwalk all the way to Vila do Conde now! :-)

    Some current updates from the Portuguese Camino

    I walked the coastal route from Porto (Matosinhos) to Vila do Conde on Oct 13th 2017 - it was perfect, wonderful, no problems at all. Stayed at an albergue called Hostel 211 or something similar. It was 'ok' but suggest check if alternatives available. There is an Information Office in the...

    Very dissilusioned. Can't wait to finish

    Had a wonderful experience back in 2012, hope to do it again and thanks Ger for help in deciding which routes to avoid! Very unfortunate really.
