I'm planning on starting on july too, problably on the 7th, also from Porto.
So far I'm going alone but it would be nice to have a company to start this journey!
I plan to start from Porto on Monday, 8 July. I fly from Bordeaux late on Saturday and want to spend some time Porto on Sunday exploring the town and getting my credentials at the pilgrim office; it has been 30+ years since I've been in Portugal. On Monday my plan is to take the tram as far out of Porto as possible and stop in Vilar do Pinheiro the first night. From there the goals is Santiago and Muxia by the end of July. I have been suffering from sciatica since November and still have a lame foot and ankle which seem to work reasonably well if they are tightly strapped inside my boot. Glad to hear there are other pilgrims planning to be on the route around the same time. BC
Wonderful to hear responses from you all! I'm very excited for the journey.
I've made more solid plans and will now be leaving from Porto on July 15th (a Monday). If anyone else is leaving on that date and would like a companion, let me know.
