Ahhhhhh, Diogo it's back with its warnings. Good to know 
Ok guys, now seriously, for those of you who are going to start walking after Reading this, bear in mind some things that I have to say to you.
We are having some heat wave since the end of last week. Today the thermometers reached 34ºC in Lisbon, and last Saturday they reached 38ºC. BUT, hold on, they say that the weather it's going to change starting from today,
Temperatures will fall about 10ºC, and this can change the environment around you. Warm nights will pass to cooler and colder nights.
And the better part, RAIN! Yes, my good ol' friend it's coming back. I love rain. It's preferable than the heat to be honest. For those starting northern from Coimbra, this it will be worst, since that area of the country has more hills and mountains. For those starting in Lisbon, some drizzles may appear. And rain too, but not so early.
So for you who are starting on a nearby future, here are some advices:
- Check out ipma.pt for the weather forecast in Portugal;
- Take a fleece. We are not still in summer season, and nights can get cold (and mornings too);
- Remember the rain gear that you wanted to let at home? Well, consider it again. It might save you from some cold.
So, you are warned. Don't tell me later that nobody warned you

but had no luck. Just got my ticket to Portugal. Sept 1st to the 24th. I'm doing great. I have taken up golf. I find it to be fun 
all at the same time but good exercise 
. I walk the links, I don't ride a cart. Cardiologist has given me a clean bill of health sooo I can start some serious walk training. Plan on 2 whole days in Lisbon then walk to the far Train Station and go by train to Porto. Do the coast for a few days then back to the main route to Santiago. We are going to take our time. If we don't make it to Santiago, it's ok. We got there last year. This time around we want to stop and see the local sights, take the side trips off the beaten path, and meet the people. 8 days from Porto to Tui and 8 days from Tui to Santiago then back to Lisbon and home. Watch for my "Tails from the Rack, Yack, and Snack nShack" on my Face Book page /tony.rice.1485. Friend me so you can follow. I have never done a blog and it to late to try and learn. I will also do regular posts on this sight.
