Caminho Português

Posted on by

We are going to walk the Caminho Português from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. More than two years ago we were in Santiago after a bike ride along the Ruta de la Plata, from the south of Spain.

We entered the city by bike via the Ruta de la Plata.
In our eyes, the real pilgrims are the walkers.

My idea about the Camino has already changed quite a bit last year.
Now I’m all over. The caminos are a beautiful and special phenomenon.
Last year I wrote; Maybe I should go to Santiago again.
Now I write: Maybe I should walk there again.

Lang heb ik het niets gevonden; al die mensen die naar Santiago trekken. ‘Kunnen ze niet iets originelers bedenken?’ Maar ik ben om. M’n mening heb ik moeten herzien. Door de ontmoetingen tijdens het fietsen over delen van de Camino’s begon …

There are many routes to Santiago. We opted for the one from Porto.
We still have the Credencial, the pilgrim’s passport, which you can have stamped on the way. There is still room for new stamps.
The idea was to run the route in 2020. But, as is well known, things turned out differently then. Corona limited the freedom of movement of everyone.
Now, summer 2021, we are on our way. It remains exciting, because the pandemic is far from over. But we are fully vaccinated and believe that we are sufficiently protected ourselves and will not infect others.
We plan to report on our trip from time to time.
