Caminho Portugues

Pilgrim's Guide

An anniversary hike. How time flies. When I realized that it was going to be 20 years since my first camino and eigth or so since my last thru-hike I made some rather short notice plans. I'd mark the anniversary with another camino but a short one this time and take 3 weeks off work. I used Stingy Nomads fine site to get an overview and everything quickly fell into place. I had been leaning toward the coastal route but now I think I am leaning toward the more historic central route.

I fly in and out of Lisbon and that is in fact the start of the Caminho Portugues but pilgrim support doesn't really start until Porto. Like most pilgrims on this route I will start there although I plan on picking up my credential at Lisbon's Cathedral. I'll do travel photos the same but I think I will try a video journal this time.


Camino de Santiago

Pilgrimage Road to Santiago

The original from 2002. Not just my first camino but my first trip to Europe: France and Spain.
