day 4, Azambuja to Morgado, 19.25 km
5 May 2014 Last evening we wandered around the pretty little town of Azambuja, where there were piles of heavy duty fences awaiting erection, which we worked out must be for a forthcoming bull run through the streets. We found … Continue reading
day 3, Vila Franca de Xira to Azambuja, 20 km
4 May 2014 Last night when I was sitting in reception writing my blog, the lovely Mariano offered me a glass of wine, and a very nice one at that. It was quite late when a couple came in, looking … Continue reading
day 2, Parque Nações, Lisbon to Vilafranca de Xira 31.7 km
3 May 2014 Not a good night for sleeping. Preacher lady was rustling around searching for something at odd times during the night and lovely Portuguese girl wasn’t quite so lovely when she returned to the room at 3am. I … Continue reading
day 1, Sé Cathedral, Lisbon to Parque Nações, 8km
2 May 2014 Elly and I had decided to take it easy on our first day. We returned to yesterday’s breakfast scene of the pasteis de nata and then decided to use the remaining credit on our daily travel cards … Continue reading
The new adventure begins
30 April 2014 I have been exceptionally laid back about preparations for this new, solo, adventure. Much helped by the fact that I had found another pilgrim who is planning to start from Lisbon on the same day as me. … Continue reading
Making my acquaintance with Lisbon
1 May 2014 [I have finally found the time to write up my fabulous day sightseeing in Lisbon before setting off on the camino.] Elly and I left the apartment at about 9:30am in search of some breakfast, which was … Continue reading
Planning the Portuguese
I am flying into Lisbon, Portugal, on 30 April 2014 and will be setting off on the camino Portuguese on either the 1st or 2nd of May. I am travelling alone and don’t expect to see many other pilgrims on … Continue reading
Day 35, 20 May 2013, Finisterre to nowhere, 0 km
And so, on the thirty-fifth day, God gave us a lie-in, rest and relaxation, and all is good with the world (well, it’s very good in my world, and that is all that counts for today!) Ella and I purchased … Continue reading
Day 34, 19 May 2013, Muxia to Finisterre 32 km
So, the last day began bright and clear and we left Muxia for our last day of walking. After a while on the road we were directed onto a lovely soft sandy path that led through more pine and eucalyptus … Continue reading
Day 33, 18 May 2013, Dumbría to Muxia, 25 km
A good night’s sleep was not had by me at the pensión. Although it was a private room, I had to share a double bed with Ella and it was not at all relaxing, not helped by the fact that … Continue reading
Day 32,17 May 2013, Maroñas to Dumbría, 22.5 km
Head in the sand worked for a while, and we set off in weak sunshine, which lasted for a few kilometres. And then, guess what? It rained, and rained. With various amounts of force, ranging from hard to very hard … Continue reading
Day 31, 16 May 2013, Negreira to Maroñas, 20 km
The day started grey and continued that way until it turned black and started to rain. We ignored it for half an hour or so, until it couldn’t be ignored any more and we stopped to put on our rain … Continue reading
Day 30, 15 May 2013, Santiago de Compostela to Negreira, 21 km
The day started dull but dry, but this state of affairs didn’t last long and before we had passed through the cathedral square I was stopping to put on my raincoat. We were very quickly out of the city and … Continue reading
Day 29, 14 May 2013, Arca do Pino to Santiago de Compostela, 20 km
We set off fairly early and were soon walking through eucalyptus woods on nice soft earth. After a breakfast break we continued up and down several steep hills and eventually skirted the airport and were buzzed by a very low … Continue reading
Day 28, 13 May 2013, Arzúa to Arca do Pino, 20 km
After retiring early to catch up on my sleep, suddenly the albergue was invaded by a huge party of bag taxi-ing ‘pilgrims’. The dormitory was in two sections and all of the section that I was in had settled down … Continue reading
