  • Lisbon to Vila Franca de Xira on the Portuguese Camino de Santiago
    I consider myself very lucky that I am able to capture so many memories of pilgrimage on Camino de Santiago and be able to share them with you.
    #caminodesantiago #caminofrances #caminoportugues
    My first Camino of 2024 is the Portuguese from Lisbon
    Please join me and my adventures as I see new sights, meet amazing people, my successes and failures, and seeing how the Camino provides for me when I make some mistakes.
    This is the gear I use every day, NO more and NO less 😊

    Thank you for your special videos. Informative and gentle commentary. I depart Adelaide, South Australia for Lisbon Monday 5 August. I plan to walk the Central Route. 10 - 20 ks daily is my 'pace yourself, stop n smell the Roses' way that I prefer to solo walk these beautiful, sacred paths. Not sure about the first leg out of Lisbon but one step at a time. I walked Camino Francis :Saint Jean Pied de Port - Santiago over August - mid October in 2022. My Caminos are for my husband Ronnie who passed 24/05/2020 and with whom I travelled much around Australia and beyond. We couldn't make it to Spain and Portugal where he wanted to go so I walk solo with him in my heart. Again, thank you for sharing your Caminos in such an enjoyable and informative way.

    Once outside the city, it looked really nice. Who doesn't love a good boardwalk. 🙂

    • @NickLivingLife
      @NickLivingLife  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think they are extending it further too which would make the entire first day on boardwalk (other than the city suburbs which are never my favourite in any city). I don’t know how big the other cities are along the Way but hoping for not many more city walks. 😊

      He’s the new record holder and he’s in this albergue too tonight. I had a quiet word with “the boss” and hes given me a bed at the far end of the albergue. I feel bad asking but not sure I could handle a second night. The video doesn’t give justice to how masterful he was at his craft 😂

      @@NickLivingLife good on you for getting some distance from the great snorasaurus. I often wonder if they know how bad they are? I’d be mortified if I was doing it. Maybe purchase all the beds in the next place so he has to walk on 😂

    Be careful on the last 8kms stage Santarém > Golegã, the road is dangerous , the best thing is walk on the corn field . BOM CAMINHO

    Worst caminho I’ve done so far 😢 it was like walking on highways and dodging drivers all the time. The towns/cities (Tomar, Coimbra etc) are worth seeing though.

      Lots of road I must agree. Less than Norte though so far. 😊
