You arrive in Porto and have a day or two to spend. Let me suggest a WONDERFUL restaurant/bar across from the “Harry Potter” bookstore, the Lello Bookshop. This place is named “Clerigos Cervejaria” and is also near that giant Torre do Cleriigos.”

The staff is outstanding in their friendliness. They like pilgrims! Clayton makes a killer Caiperinha with special ingredients from Brazil. The lemon is mouth watering.

Manager Rachel, is very friendly and knowledgeable.

The facilities are clean, restful, and spacious, a wonderful place for a solo pilgrim (or more, I imagine) who just needs a place to relax and prepare for a long walk.

Highly recommended.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Thank you! Recommendations Alway welcome. Looked at reviews on TripAdvosor and they concur!
 
Okay, you need to try the local specialties, though! Love Brazilian food, but I’d rather go for a bifana or a francesinha when in Porto!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

I think they serve the Francesinha at this restaurant also but, since this the one also known as the “calorie bomb,” I went for a small, cold cerveza instead.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hopefully they are still a happening. In 2015 my family and I joined "Porto Walkers" for an afternoon walk around that beautiful city before beginning our Camino the next day. Delightful and informative. And plan to spend a little while gazing at the blue tiles in the downtown train station. Bom Caminho.
