Steps with Lynne

Time for another Camino!

In 2021, I walked the Camino Frances about 800 km/500 miles, from St Jean Pied de Port, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

On Tuesday, September 5, I’ll be leaving for Lisbon, Portugal. On Saturday, September 9, I will begin walking the Camino Portuguese, from Lisbon to Santiago. Approximately 640 km/400 miles.

The attached map shows four main routes. I will follow:
= Leaving Lisbon on the Red/Camino Central all the way to Porto
= Leaving Porto will take the Blue/Senda Litoral (along the coast) for 1.5 days
= 10km/6.2 miles after Labruge, I will cut inland and join the Red/Central at Sao Pedro de Rates.
= Cross the border into Spain at Tui.
= Stay on Red/Central all the way to Pontevedra
= At Pontevedra switch to the Purple/Variante Espiritual
= At Padron back on the Red/Central into Santiago de Compostela, Spain

So about 85% of the walk will be in Portugal. I’ve never been to Portugal, so am excited to experience the culture and people. Plus meeting other pilgrims!

I am planning to post on most days, so if you choose, go on the journey with me. Keep me in your thoughts for a safe & healthy pilgrimage.

Bom Caminho/ Buen Camino
