    Two sellos on credencial from Sarria to Santiago

    Don’t get too hung up on the 2 stamps per day. I have done 7 caminos and all they look at, at the Pilgrim office is your start point.

    is it safe to walk alone at 18

    Just as save at 18 as any other age. I take it you be walking the Frances in which case you will only be alone if you want to be.

    Camino by skateboard?

    I have seen some silly postings on this site but this would have to take the cake. Why on earth would someone want to skateboard the camino. As one post said "what next, hovercraft's". And as for asking "would he have to lie to get a compostela" shows to me you do not have much regard for the...

    If you can get in.

    Totally agree with you

    Buen Camino app, negative about central Portugal

    In my humble opinion the walk from Porto to Vila do Conde is lovely. Firstly by the river and then the coast. From there you can cut across to Barcelos to join the Central which I think is a great walk. Plenty of history and some lovely towns.

    Best day of the week to begin in Porto, September

    As long as it ends in a "y" you will be fine.

    public transport from Santiago to Porto in October

    I have gone by bus twice from SdeC to Porto and it is a nice easy trip. Takes about 4 hours.

    Finding my way along the route

    If you need an app on the Camino Frances you have a problem. It is so well marked and here are so many pilgrims it is impossible to get lost. Put your phone away and enjoy what is around you.

    First Day Leaving Porto Options

    The walk from Porto to Vila do Conde is great. First beside the river and then the coast. The next day to Barcelos there is some road walking but nothing dangerous.

    Ashes on the Frances

    Finisterre. My wife passed 4 1/2 years ago and even though she never walked a camino I was always telling her how much I love Finisterre. When she was in her last days she asked me to spread some of her ashes at Finisterre which I dutifully did and visit the spot on each of my walks there.

    Coastal to central

    Totally agree with you re crossing at Vila do Conde. You get a nice walk by tghe river and the coast and then all the history of the inland towns. Wonderful.

    Camino dos Faros

    Would be interested to hear what they think of it. One plus is there will be 2 of them walking it.

    Camino dos Faros

    Meet a few people when I was walking the Portuguese (after the Faros) who had walked the Fishermans Trail and all spoke highly of it.

    Camino dos Faros

    I had no app just the book. Agree there was easy and beautiful walking but there were also sections that in my view were dangerous especially in the wet weather. I guess not meeting anyone else had something to do with it also but I did find it reassuring that the only 2 pople I meet that were...

    Camino dos Faros

    Appreciate your comments. Obviously this is my opinion and I know others will differ. I have walked 6 camino's but this was certainly the most challenging. I watched a number of youtubes on the walk but nothing indicated the walk to be as difficult as it was.

    Camino dos Faros

    I recently walked the Camino dos Faros from Malpica to Finisterre over 8 days and have to say this is hardest and most difficult walk I have ever done. Tough uphills and sharp descents with a lot of rock scrambling, track quite often one boot width wide on the edge of cliffs, scrub often waist...

    Finisterre

    There seems to be rumours going round that buses from Finisterre are fully booked for weeks ahead. This is not true . Bus I returned om n 2+ days ago had plenty of seats available .
