The Camino Portugues

[Dave Buchan]

Dear All

Is there anyone out there who has walked the final 107 km to Santiago from Tui
on the Camino Portugues? I am presently in Oporto. I have walked from
Rouncevalles to Astorga from 17 September to 3 October but developed a bad case
of tendonitis in my right anterior tibilalis which swelled and was getting too
painful to walk any distance on. Rather than have a couple of days off in
Astorga which was getting cold I took the train to Madrid and then the
overnight to Lisbon which has had great weather for the past few days of R and
R. I want to complete the last 100km of the camino on a take it easy basis and
was looking at the camino portuges as an alternative to the busy camino
frances. Is the path well marked? Are there aubergues? Do many people walk this
camino in October. Any information will help.
