• unless I decide I fancy the Camino de Santiago.

    Just got back from doing the Camino Portugues, from Porto to Santiago. 12 days. Was a privilege to do it in a mild winter, with no competition for beds in the albergues.

    Bit nippy some nights though.

    Plus, the graffiti told no lies when it read “Galicia is not Spain”.

  • Oh nice. I really like the sound of that. What is accommodation like?

    How many miles/did you cover? I don’t want to be biting off more than 15 a day in future.

  • Around 20-30km per day, most days were 20-25 or less though. It’s totally manageable and the route kind of dictates it. Only a couple days felt long. It was ‘easy’ as hikes go, minus the knee injury from pushing too hard on the downhills.

    Albergues were cheap and plentiful, apparently it’s the warmer seasons in peak when you fight for a bed. We had no issue in any town. There were ample alternatives and private places along the route.
