From 14 September 2024, we’ll be making our way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela along the coastal route of the Camino Portuguese.
We are scheduled to arrive in Santiago on the 26th.
This will be my 3rd Camino route and I’m happily being joined by my partner, Claire, and good friends Maureen & Steve, all for their first Camino.
Claire was cynical about the Camino, her natural contrarianism kicking in. When I told her what a wonderful and potentially life changing experience it was, she told me I’d been drinking too much from the wine fountain. But an opportunity came up that meant Claire and Maureen would be in Madrid for a conference. What better way to extend your break than adding on a Camino.
We agreed to book accommodation before we leave Australia. It means no matter how bad a day we have, Claire never has to share a room with a bunch of snoring and farting old men, just one.
We’re all super excited and can’t wait to head to Portugal, via Madrid, and get walking.
