Information
on Costs
Costs are nominal, and largely centred around accommodations. Some people prefer the spartan amenities of hostels / 'albergues'. Others prefer to have their own rooms and bath facilities at the end of a day. The choice is yours, and we do not judge!
Going On Caminho
Going on caminho is not something to do without significant planning; the total trip will likely take between 9 to 14 days... or more, depending upon your route.
Caminho
Planning
There are many excellent resources for planning your travel. One of the most respected sources of information in the English language is A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino Portugués, by John Brierley.
Packing for
Caminho
Things that you think are essential at the start of the trip are often discarded during the trip; lightness is a true virtue.
Getting in
Shape
Perhaps the most critical element of preparing for Caminho is to ensure you are in adequate physical shape to take on the challenges of the journey. Are you in shape?
