Learnings that improved your walking experience

[KGBurk]

We’ll be walking our third Camino (Portuguese Centra/CPI/Sanabres) next Spring and I’ve been thinking about going deep in learning about a certain topic to enhance the overall experience. I’ve considered learning the Portuguese language, or Portuguese history, or even religious history. Not sure.

What is your suggestion for me?

I would say language for sure.

Some online resources are: Practice Portuguese, Portuguese with Leo, Portuguese with Carla, Mia Esmeriz Academy. Maybe look these up and see if they appeal to you. These are all European Portuguese resources; be aware that European and Brazilian Portuguese are quite different so the plentiful resources for Brazilian Portuguese on the web won't really be of much help.

Boa sorte e bom caminho!

I listen to gregorian chanting in Latin while walking and I've learned a fair bit of Latin ...

Art and architecture history.
History of Spain in general.
Those both give context to what you see and walk through on a camino.
