Loved every minute of this trip. Glad I had an e-bike. Was able to bike manually most of the time but liked the ebike for the hills. Ruben was a fantastic guide, so positive, enthusiastic and informative. And Armando the van man fed us all very well and researched and accommodated for all the allergies some of the other riders had. Highly recommend throwing in extra for the lunches. Most of the ride was on paved cycle paths which made for an excellent ride. Best way travel this beautiful country❤️
This trip went beyond my expectations. I mean I was hoping for a lovely week given that we were walking along the wonderful Portuguse coastline but it delivered beyond my expectations. Seeing the incredible coastline, the huge pristine beaches and the STORKS nesting on the rocks knocked my socks off. And each day was different - different terrain, different flora and fauna - it was a feast for the senses. But what made the trip so very special for me were our two guides - Francisco Simoes and Ines Monteiro - they were incredible! I can't praise them enough for their care, friendliness, patience and knowledge. They're a massive asset to the trip!
The trip was very well planned, with comfortable and at times exceedingly beautiful places to stay with helpful staff at each location. I only wish I had the time to have walked a longer Camino. Walking this one with the organisation allowed me to be present in each moment and not fretting over accommodation.
