Such an amazing overview of the Camino Portugués! Really helpful tips for first time pilgrims, and plenty of helpful information spread throughout. Thanks for sharing Tammy!
Very nice summary of what to expect. I agree with the smart wool brand of socks. I wear them with work boots, and they are truly worth the extra money.
Thank you Tammy! I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I'm figuring out my Camino for next April and all your information is so helpful. Take care.
Thank you for doing this video. I especially appreciate your encouragement to have an attitude of gratitude while on the Camino. I like your journaling idea as well. May God bless you! 😃🌷
I would love to do this journey. The only thing stopping me are the bedbugs. I don't mind people and I enjoy groups, but those bedbugs are a came changer for me. My only alternative is to book at more expensive accommodations, and I truly wanted to get the pilgrimage feel of this journey.
To encourage you to do it, I’ve done the Camino Frances, Portuguese, via de la plata , and via Francigena and have never had an issue. Most places are very conscientious about bed bugs. But there is also a spray for your sleep sack called Permethrin that works excellent. I used it when I walked the Appalachian trail to keep ticks and bug away. Worked great.
Expensive hotels can have bedbugs just as often as cheaper accomodations. I have walked 5 Caminos and have yet to see a single bedbug. Book at albergues that have bedbug proof mattresses, spray you sleeping bag and pack with Permythrin and check other mattresses and frames.
I heard on another UA-cam video the best was to avoid BBs is going at the start of the season when they just open up as they will have cleaned throughout, and bring your own sheet, hope this helps 😊
I’ve walked two full Camino’s, including the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon and Camino Francés. None of these have experienced any bedbugs. I think this is way overhyped externally.
Absolutely! But be careful because the solitude and peace are addictive. You’ll meet wonderful people from around the globe of all religions and ethnicities.
Good travel vlog! Still, I must say…I’ve never understood the purpose of “Journals” except as an exercise in vanity. The minutia of your life is largely uninteresting to others and even less interesting to yourself since most of us would rather LIVE the experience rather than analyze it.
I have kept a journal for 53 years. I use it as a manual of what to do. For example how do I handle depression. I look in my journal to see how I handled it in the past. Oh I had 3 strokes in 2014.

Thank you so much for this video Tammy you’ve inspired me! Im leaving for my first Portuguese Camino in April!!!
I am so excited for you! You will have an amazing time. Be sure to take pictures and post them.
@Tammy- you can be alone for several days if you walk the Portugese trail from Lisbon. There aren’t many pilgrims who choose that route.
This was really good. Very thoughtfully presented. Thanks so much!
Will do next june.solo with my one man tent and gear
Thank you Tammy this proved useful
Great video, lovely to see lush recommended. We bring the shampoo bars to every holiday. Cannot wait to start our walk!
I’m so excited for you. Please post pictures!

I’ve travelled it twice and going again next week, bed bugs have never been an issue.

Im starting from vigo but not sure how to get to beginning of Camino from the bus stop in vigo
I’m not sure; however the buen camino app has a GPS feature and a map of the city that may be helpful. Plus people were very helpful when I asked.
Hi what shoes did you use?
I generally wear Altra hiking shoes. They are extremely comfortable with a wide toe box.
@@TammyKraft thank you!!
Can a Muslim walk the Camino?
Absolutely! But be careful because the solitude and peace are addictive. You’ll meet wonderful people from around the globe of all religions and ethnicities.
Anyone can walk Camino, enjoy.
