Forest fires caminho portugues

Time of past OR future Camino

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!

Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
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. You might also find this older thread useful: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/wildfires-in-portugal.75837/#post-1048642
Bom Caminho!
 
Just downloaded. Very helpful!

Thank you and helpful! Is there an equivalent app for Spanish forest fires?

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

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.
