📍 Walking the Camino de Santiago – Portuguese Coastal Route (Last 100km)
Join me as I begin my solo journey on the Camino de Santiago, walking the final 100km of the Portuguese Coatsal route from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela. This is Part 1 of my Camino series, and in this video, I take you through my first few days of walking - sharing the highs, the challenges, and the beauty of slowing down and moving forward, one step at a time.
🧭 I'm walking solo, carrying everything I need on my back, and aiming to keep things light while still enjoying a few creature comforts. Whether you're planning your own Camino or just curious what it's like, I hope this gives you a real feel for the experience.

📍 About the Camino Portuguese Coastal Route
The Portuguese Coastal Camino is a less popular very scenic route to Santiago, offering a mix of coast, countryside, and historic towns. The final 100km qualifies you for the Compostela certificate - and is a beautiful journey whether it’s your first Camino or your fifth.

oh i got to admit that i do prefer hammocks , over beds.
you’re so real
PS love your skort
We had torrential torrential rain during the last couple of sections, so it was a different journey😂
Our afternoon was spent in the interesting museum and evening enjoying wonderful warming food.
We also stayed at the same lodgings...😊
It can take up to a week to get in a good routine, and to really start to build up your strength, mind and body, on the way to get proper camino fit.
Being restricted to a short camino definitely comes with its challenges
Regardless of what i said, well done on your journey. Many people i know, wouldn't even consider doing that distance.
Buen Camino, have you decided on your next camino yet?
