Hiking Portugal's Rota Vicentina and Camino Portuguese.

After the Rota Vicentina, we are now set to make our way from Proto Covo to Lisbon along uninspiring roadways and byways to connect with the Camino Portuguese.  From Lisbon, we will venture along the central route to Porto where we will move to the Coastal and Espiritual variants to Santiago de Compostella and eventually onward to Fisterra Spain.

Given that we have already trekked the Camino Portuguese Central in 2019 this year we are setting out to simply enjoy it rather than blog about it from Lisbon to Porto.  However, once we reach Porto and begin our pilgrimage along the Coastal and Espiritual routes we will again be photographing and blogging those adventures!

Northward to the Camino!

See you on the Trail!
