Pilgrimage from Portugal this Summer

[msanthea]

I'm contemplating the walk this summer (July or August) and thought I would see if there are others planning to do the same. It'll be my first time and as it stands, I'm likely to be traveling alone so I'm hoping to meet others along the way.

Hi,

I am planning to walk from Porto with my wife in early September. It would be my plan to go on to Cape Finisterre afterwards. Does anyone know what would be a reasonable amount of time to complete the walk at a comfortable pace? Is 12 - 14 days pushing it?
Any experience of the weather on the route in early September?

Regards,


Sean

Ola! We are from South Africa and are also first timers. We are planning to walk in either late Aug/early Sept and would appreciate any guidance we can get on the best time to do it. We have limited time - only 7 days but would like to make the most of our time. Ideally we would like to do the last 120 km of the route and then come back in 2012 due to the time constraints.

Hello I plan to walk to Santiago from Porto , mid September.

I walked Camino Frances last year...and am now a caminophile !

cheers...and good luck to all the 2010 Pilgrims

The problem with walking the Camino is that you either love it or hate it, and those of us who love it find ourselves drawn back time after time.

There are many worse things than being a Caminophile!!

Hello, I am thinking of doing the Camino in early July, but haven't decided if I will do the Camino Frances or the Portuguese Route. Has anyone done both? Also, with which organisation would I be best to go with. Any helpful info. would be greatly appreaciated.
