    Coastal Route from Oia to Santiago

    Hi everyone, My wife and I did our Portuguese Camino from Tui to Santiago 4 years ago. We loved it so much, as the route was not crowded and the journey pleasant. Next year, we hope that we can do the Portuguese Coastal Camino from Oia to Santiago. This time we want to bring some friends...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    If carrying a backpack for 20-26km up and downhill is a concern, I strongly recommend the Tuitrans to move your luggage. It cost me 25 euros per bag for 6 days from Tui to SdC. It allowed me to focus on walking and enjoying the environment. But I've also seen many younger and fitter walkers...

    Catholic Church in Arcade

    Shalom, We will be arriving in Arcade on a Saturday and we would like to attend mass in a Catholic Church in the afternoon/evening. Can anyone help me find one that is nearest to Hotel Duarte? I tried googling but can't find a church in the town which seems to be strange. Many thanks John

    My first camino april/may Lisbon to Santiago

    Hello Surya. You mentioned that we don't need heavy boots on the CP but just good shoes. Will Nike walking shoes be sufficient? Like this one https://www.nike.com/sg/t/sb-stefan-janoski-max-skateboarding-shoe-DADOR8/631303-302 We have Timberland ankle boots but I find them rather heavy. But...

    Luggage Transfer On Portugese Camino

    We are planning to walk from Tui and will be using Tuitrans. On the stop at Caldas de Reis we will be staying at Torre do Rio which is about 2km from town. Does anyone know if Tuitrans will deliver and pick up from there?

    Accommodation at O Porriño

    Yes, I wrote to them in November last year through their website and asked for a booking in May. A Christina replied with a rate but told me that she will confirm in February. February came and went, no confirmation. Wrote an email to them a few days ago. No reply as yet. We need to confirm our...

    Pants or Shorts or Zip off Convertible Pants?

    Hi, I'm doing my first Camino Portuguese from May 4-9 from Tui to Santiago. Would it still be too cold to wear shorts? I come from Singapore, a tropical country. Many thanks.
