Forest fires caminho portugues

[Dany2022]

Hello together,
I am planing on walking the Camino Portugues in about two weeks.
For now I heard about many forest fires. Did somebody walk this Camino recently or lives there to tell if it is possible walking it?
Thank you very much for your help!

I would suggest downloading an app called Fogos.pt. This will give you nearly-real time status updates on all fires occurring in Portugal. Right now, for example, I can see there's one in the Braga area, in northern Portugal. My sense is that the dangers have lessened in the last few weeks but this app can provide you a good way to monitor the situation.

Bom Caminho!

Hi Alexander. I did a quick search on Google and all I came up with is this one (https://www.wildfirewatch.app/en) which is confined to Andalusia, so won't help you much. Sorry,

Thanks! I searched also but couldn’t find one for Galicia…

Yes, I searched for Spain overall and then Galicia separately and found nothing.

In Spanish, but here's the Spanish government daily bulletins:

Nothing that I'm aware of, as useful as the Portuguese site.

Good luck and bon camino! Unless there's another extreme heatwave, you shouldn't have to worry too much in Galicia.
