My dear fellow wanderer, are you ready to take the leap and join me on the Portuguese Camino? I promise that it will blow your socks off! 🧦 We're talking about an unforgettable journey that'll leave you with memories to cherish forever, all while getting those fitness levels soaring. I've been itching to return to Portugal ever since my first visit earlier this year. Unfortunately, shortly after hitting the road, I had to cancel my planned solo hike along the Camino in January. Bummer, right? 🤷‍♀️ But here's the exciting part - I'm absolutely determined to hit the road again this year and make up for lost time and I would love to have you accompany me on the journey! So, let me set the scene for you 🌆 Imagine arriving in the wonderfully vibrant city of Porto, where old-world charm dances with modern energy, creating a truly mesmerising atmosphere. To me, my first time in Porto made me realise that this is the kind of place that grabs hold of your heart and never lets go. 🌄 Shortly after our arrival, we'll set out on the coastal route of the Portuguese Camino. This ancient pilgrim route will lead us through breathtaking natural landscapes, adorable villages that seem straight out of a storybook, and inspiring historical sites. And of course, beautiful beaches and stunning sunsets! We'll have the chance to meet the friendliest locals. I know they will welcome us with open arms and be eager to share their stories. 🚶‍♂️ Over the course of 12 days, we'll cover approximately 250 km, with daily hikes ranging from a cosy 15 to an exhilarating 29 km. So, get those boots all laced up and let your trusty feet lead you on a wild ride filled with blistering fun adventures! (pun intended) But wait, there's more 🕍 Along our path, we'll encounter some seriously mind-blowing landmarks and attractions. Think ancient cathedrals, like the one in Porto that'll leave you in awe, the charming Ponte de Lima, and the picturesque wonderland of the Galician countryside when we reach Spain. Oh, and the grand finale - the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Goosebumps. Now, of course, we'll get to rest our weary feet and heads at night. Get ready for a cosy mix of accommodations that'll cool your feet and warm your heart. We'll experience everything from rustic and charming albergues that have stories etched into their walls, to comfortable guesthouses that'll make you feel pampered. They've got all the essentials covered in cosy beds, refreshing showers, and a delicious breakfast to fuel us up for our day of adventures. Each place will reflect the local charm and character, making you feel like you've stepped into a hidden gem. 🏖️ We'll also have free time on our journey to soak up the local culture, indulge in mouthwatering regional dishes, take refreshing dips in the great Atlantic Ocean, chill at the beach, and mingle with fellow pilgrims. The best part? No need to stress about planning and organising your hiking trip for hours on end. I've got you covered! Just pack your sense of adventure, bring a sprinkle of curiosity, and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime. Together, we'll conquer the trails, immerse ourselves in the beauty of Portugal, and create bonds that only fellow adventurers can understand. What is included in the price? - Accommodation (a mix of single and shared rooms) - Breakfast included at selected locations So, there's only one thing left to say. Bom caminho! 💚 Any questions?
