Camino de Santiago de Compostela - the Portuguese route.
Just over 6 years ago, in 2017, we started our nomadic wanderlust and our first Camino. Fast forward today, 2023 - Kathy and myself are joined by Sandy, a long time, dear Australian friend, on a journey starting in Porto, Portugal and ultimately ending in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
From Porto we were taken aback by the beauty of the Coastal route. Then, on our second day in, we crossed over to the Central route - all the way to Santiago.
Hope you get inspired and enjoy our pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Nice job, love the music. I'm leaning towards this route, thinking I'll get tired of the beach route.

Were there lots of drink / food and accommodation options along the way ?

@vichanisch4361 20 күн бұрын

It depends on where you are and what time and day.Obviously early on a Sunday many cafes are closed.In saying that overall we didn't go hungry.

@@vichanisch4361 do you know if the Spanish protesting about tourism includes the Camino ?

Is it better to prebook hotels or just turn up to the albergues?

I am planning to do the walk with friends. I would like to learn more about Casa Fernanda?

It was truly a wonderful experience with the whole family. Most of her intentions as a host are expressed in my video.It is worth noting she has become very popular and I would try to book your bed as soon as possible. Buen Camino.

Loved your video. We are wondering what to do now that we have finished the Frances. We watched one vid on the Portuguese and it showed lots of road walking and often without footpaths. Your video showed none of that and looked beautiful. You both did the coastal for a day and cut across to the traditional. We had given up on the Portuguese but you have put it back on the agenda. Did you encounter much road walking through traffic ?

@vichanisch4361 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comments ,much appreciated. We encountered a bit on our second day when we crossed over from the coastal. Afterwards occasionally but nothing too long or with the thought this could be dangerous. Hope that helps.

Your video makes the first two days look straightforward and reasonably nice but many people have posted videos of this trip complaining that the start of the camino de Portugues is dull, with a lot of noise and traffic. I like the route you chose. What is your honest opinion of the first two days?

@vichanisch4361 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comments.I enjoyed those days,however they say walking close to the airport is uninteresting.We then cut across to the central route as I thought it would be more cultural as we live near the coast in Australia

Could you please share the route guide do you use for this Camino? Thank you

Hey Vic! How timely! I am doing this same route starting on September 23rd. Weather advice??

@vichanisch4361 Жыл бұрын

We did it in April and only 2 days of short rain.Mornings where cool.September should be much warmer. Be flexible, if the weather turns bad and you don't want to go on stay there.We met some of our now camino family on such an occasion.

@elizabethgeorrge5035 10 ай бұрын

What's the terrain like ? Is there any steep climbs?

@vichanisch4361 10 ай бұрын

No major inclines we found it much easier than the first few days out of St Jean Pied de Port in France on the French route.

There all different and I enjoyed them all.

@simonwells733 10 ай бұрын

How long did it take and how much did you spend?

@vichanisch4361 10 ай бұрын

It took a total of 14 days to reach Santiago with an additional 2 days relaxing in Tui Spain.Costs are a bit more difficult to explain.As there were 3 of us we decided to have private rooms as well as albergues.

Don't people camp on this hike..every video I see....its hotels and hostels

They do, however we travel full time and can not carry camping equipment.
