    Translation app - when language fails us

    I know that many of us have come to depend on Google Translate to get us through various conversations when we are travelling or walking the Way. I'm wondering if there are other apps that people have found more 'accurate?' By accurate, I mean things like word order, gender of nouns, etc.

    High Tech Fabrics

    Hello everyone - I've recently been made aware of some new fabrics that actually keep you cool. I'm planning to walk in the summer and easily get heat stroke (no judgement please - I really do love the summer).

    Solo travel - Lisbon to Porto

    Hello - I am a single woman in her late 50s hoping to walk (solo) from Lisbon to Porto and meet with friends to continue on to Santiago. I have been advised that the Lisbon-Porto section is not the safest for a single traveller. I've been told there are thefts and exhibitionists along the way...
