eBook “Camino Portugues for Beginners”

Discover the Portuguese Way!

A Camino Santiago Route that…

…is not yet overcrowded
…is easily doable for everyone in 2 weeks
…is also suitable for beginners
…is the second most popular of all the Ways of St. James
….leads through Portugal & Spain to Santiago

What real readers who purchased the book say:

I want to walk the Camino Portugese for the first time in October and this book has been a wonderful help in my preparations! All the information was useful and well researched: from the accommodation list with recommendations, to route recommendations, arrival and departure including from Santiago de Compostela, a detailed packing list, information on the pilgrim’s pass, weather information and also the city map of Porto provided as a download was great.

Sitting in a small bar in O’Porriño with vino tinto, I have just read your new book and the guests around me will have wondered why I keep nodding.

After walking the Way of St. James for the first time, halfway from Porto to Finisterre, I can only confirm what you write. The coastal stage from Porto to Villa do Condo is breathtaking, the ascent on the stage to Rubiaes is challenging, but was rewarded with a great view. The small villages along the route are beautiful, even if the cobblestones are hard on the feet.

I was traveling alone as a woman and felt safe – as you described – and very comfortable with the many other pilgrims that I (re)met.

Your packing list is perfect. I am 1.59 m tall and carry around 8 kg in my rucksack, which is made for women’s backs. There are plenty of opportunities to wash along the way and I don’t need to pack anything more than you’ve described

If I wasn’t already on my way, after your book I would do it :-).

Informative, inspiring, clear and easy to read. This book contains everything to help you prepare, plan and complete your first hike on the Camino Portugués. After reading it, all my doubts were forgotten and my most important questions were answered. Nothing stands in the way of my first Camino alone as a woman. The book is definitely worth buying.
