Hear so many complaints about trash along the Camino, don't hear the complainers makeing effort to pick up some trash. I aways have a extra bag with me for trash pick up, where ever I am in the world. Thank you for encouraging others to pick up the trash with your stick.

I have just completed the central route, but from Porto followed the Litoral Route along the river & up the coast, before cutting in land to Vairo. I would recommend this route, as it avoids the unattractive suburbs of Porto. I also took the Spiritual Variant - which I would also recommend. You can see a video of my Camino on my KZfaq channel.

So glad you're doing the Camino Portuguese again. I followed your route out of Porto along the river and coast last year and that day was Amazing!! Switched to the central for the rest and loved it too. I'm going back to do the coastal and the Spiritual variant and Finisterra that I missed. Your videos are being watched again and again. Thanks for the great information! Safe travels for you and your family ❤❤

Great video! Though I don't have any desire to do the Central (I'll never get tired of the Litoral though, ever), this is awesome to watch. I really loved that we got to see your family in the opening! 🥰

So great to see your doing the central. Thats my next camino too. I did the senda Literal with spiritual variant last year and absolutely loved it. My plan for the central was to walk the coastal to Vila do conde and then cross from there to Rates on the central. Either that or taxi to Vilarinho and start walking from there. If I have the time I will start coastal then cross over. Your such a pro now lol with a personal fan and ac. Love it.

Finally! I have been waiting for this episode for the Camino Portuguese central. I have seen many videos of the central route and believe it looks to be more scenic. It would have been great if you did the Camino as a family. I had watched a channel who attempted to do the Camino with their family but we lost interest when they failed to complete the trip due to several family dropping out.

There is a detour to get off the busy route N-306 in my guidebook. Looks like you didn’t have that. I don’t think I can post a photo, but it’s 2.8 km after Vilar. At the bakery/stoplight, turn right onto a cobblestone road. It was marked when I did the road in 2019. Much better than the busy road in the video.

the litoral is the way to go for sure. Without the two fans I don't know if I would have survived the heat. it's getting crazy hot in Europe.

Thank you for your excellent video, I have walked the Ingles and just back from the Portuguese coastal. So wanting to go back, I'm going to do the central this September. Your video has really helped preparing. Regarding the coAstal, I'm afraid I did find parts too windy and dare I say monotonous (sorry) but managed to cross inland in places. Agree the spiritual variant is wonderful. Thank you. Any plans to do a walk from Lisbon?

Hi Efren, I'm so glad I found your channel! Beautiful video! I am set to be doing the Camino Portugues, my first Camino starting next month! I was originally planning on doing the full 620km from Lisbon but it seems like there are very few alburgues along the route until you get to Porto, plus I only have a few weeks to Camino! Would you recommend starting from Porto? (I will still have a few days in Lisbon!) Also, how is it to walk the Camino on one's own? Thank you for sharing!

@Walk_with_Efren 2 ай бұрын

welcome to the channel. I've only done the section from Porto but will walk from Lisbon one day. most pilgrims start in Porto and as you know you can follow the coast or the central route. as for walking on your own, don't worry, really. most people start on their own and end up in a Camily. the caminos in Europe are super safe. I feel safer there than here in the States. Buen Camino.

Got a treadmill and TV in my garage, and I love walking while watching your videos. Question for you and anyone who sees this that's done the camino: How do you readjust to life back home? Just doesn't feel the same without walking every day, which is hard to do with a full time job.
