Dear Readers

I can now use the plural form as I have received not one but TWO requests for the Camino Português files.  I am sorry it took so long.

These are my walking files.  I have made some edits where the GPS signal was wayward due to the tall buildings.  This only tended to occur in the towns such as Lisbon, Coimbra, Porto and a couple of others.  The eagle-eyed among you will see where I went off the main track.

These files will get you from Lisbon to Santiago following the most ancient of the Camino Português routes.  Following the old ways is the way I prefer to walk, but some of you may prefer to take the more modern variations (e.g. the Coastal Route out of Porto – and I cannot blame you as the ancient – Central Route – would expose you to a lot of narrow, winding roads and a LOT of cars travelling at higher speeds than I would use.  I know, because as the GPX tracks show – I walked those roads – and I dodged that traffic).  So – I leave you with that warning.  I cannot be responsible for your safety, so use this at your own risk.

Incidentally, I really and truly do not advocate that anyone follows exactly my path.  You – and I – are – are unique individuals.  Feel free to make your own way.  The Camino is YOUR Camino.  Make it up as you go along.  My only requests to you are these:

(1) ENJOY your Camino

(2) Let me know how your Camino went and whether my files helped you.

Best of luck!
