    Certificate in Fatima?

    In answer to your original question, as someone who has walked from Lisbon to Fatima (and on to Santiago de Compostela of three of those) four times, there is no certificate at the end when you reach the Marian shrine in Cova da Iria, but there is a credencial (pilgrims passport) that you can...

    Albergue de Peregrinos Santa Antonio in Águeda open?

    Hey. It's listed on booking.com as Residecial Celeste (Rua da Misericórdia nº 713 (EN1), 3750-130 Águeda, Portugal). The albergue is attached to it, so although they are technically two different establishments, they are the same place.(To check in at the albergue, you actually do it at the...

    Caminho without a phone

    By all accounts, it's generally safe. But as with everywhere, crime is rising. I live in London, so there's more chance of it happening here. I guess it was just a case of wrong place, wrong time. Don't let my experience put you off. The Algarve is beautiful.

    Caminho without a phone

    No, I just couldn't remember the correct password or combination of, hashtags, commas, etc. And after 3 attempts it booted me out. But yes, a special shout out to Miguel at the Azambuja municipal albergue. A true Camino angel. Muito obrigado

    Caminho without a phone

    Yes, as I stated in my previous post. It was around 11pm, in the old town, on my way back to my hotel after an evening meal. Why do you ask?

    Caminho without a phone

    "Managed" being the operative word. I'm not trying to stir up any pot. Sounds like you are more than anything, but I digress. I'm just trying to gauge reaction. To answer other questions, I was actually mugged in Faro, in a rather sketchy area has I had to fly there and it was too late to go to...

    Caminho without a phone

    And yes, I "managed" it, but with great difficulty, and with very little sympathy from fellow pilgrims. If it wasn't for the actual Portuguese/Galicians, I dread to think how I would have got on. And don't even start me on trying to get home. Lol.

    Caminho without a phone

    I made the bookings a month beforehand, but couldn't remember every single accommodation where I stayed, and booking.com wouldn't tell me where each hotel/albergue was even though I knew which town I was staying in. Like I said, try remembering 11 hotels in 11 different consecutive towns.

    Caminho without a phone

    So, before I began my third Caminho Portuguese from Lisbon in April of this year, I had a week with a friend who lives in the Algarve beforehand. However, literally on the first night of landing in Portugal, I was mugged at knifepoint for my phone. Now, this normally wouldn't matter, as for over...

    Lost & Found Lost phone between Pontevedra and split for the spiritual route

    To the Australian daughter who might possibly be reading, tell this OP to "get over it" like you did I. In the true "Camino spirit", of course.
