    Guide books - are they worth it?

    Hey Leslie, I’m 7 days into the Camino from Lisbon, and I tucked in the paper guide on the insistence of friends who have done a few, despite my protestations that it was too heavy.

    Injured after stage one and upset

    Sounds like you already have the Camino spirit! Take care of your injury, it’s the first priority. As others have mentioned, try and enjoy what you can of this experience, it may not be over yet. And I’m sure you’ll be back, you have many decades of opportunity. Look after yourself and Buen Camino.

    Hi Wendy, I’ve recently started from Lisbon, and this is my first Camino. I was in Lisbon for 4 days so spent one of those days walking with my pack to Póvoa and then catching a train back to Lisbon.

    Favorite spots to sleep along the Portuguese

    Thanks Paul, I have heard some very negative things so it's lovely to hear people's positive experiences. I read Linda's fantastic blog and that of also Elle Beiling and they both convinced me that it will be great. I'm very excited.

    Hi everyone, I am interested in the stats for pilgrims starting from Lisbon. All the stats I see seem to include Portuguese interior and coastal, but only from Porto. Can anyone help with this?
