Tips for Pilgrims on the Caminho

by haikutaxi

Get a well-made backpack that is comfortable and try to carry no more than 10% of your body weight (yes, you will have to do laundry along the way). Think layers ... there were cool and rainy days when we had just about everything we packed on (long pants, long sleeved shirt, polar-fleece, hat, raincoat. Then it warmed up and we were down to short sleeves and capris or shorts. Good shoes are a must-have and should be well broken-in (you don't want blisters). Waterproof or water-resistant shoes help too. I believe a fairly stiff sole helps with stability on rocky trails and cobbled streets. Pack a spare pair of light weight shoes or sandals to wear when you're not on the trail & a swimsuit should you find an inviting spot to take a dip. If you are staying in the Albergues you will need a towel and a light sleeping bag or bed-sheet too. Just carry the basics (bath soap, toothbrush &...

Keep your Rucksack Safe -- Keep your kit Dry

by into-thin-air

If you are travelling Anywhere and using a Rucksack / Backpack as your luggage then I would Strongly recommend that you use some form of Rucksack / Backpack Pro-tector !!This tip is from my own personal experience, as I have had Big Problems having my Rucksack damaged or even destroyed by airlines, particularly on Airport Carousels,What can happen is that one of the straps can drop in-between the lats on the moving Carousel and then as your Rucksack goes around a corner, the strap gets ripped off, I lost the entire back and carrying system from one of my rucksacks !! You Definitely don't want this to happen, Especially on the way out to start walking your Camino !!As The Rucksack Pro-Tector has the second function as a water-resistant liner for your rucksack. It is a particularly useful piece of kit for Camino walking, Other rucksack protectors leave you with the problem of having to...

Packing List

by ant1606

Especially if visiting during warm months, traveling is the way to go. The hard cases on our motorcycle were only half full to allow local shopping experiences. Nevertheless they got home full. Tent, two sleeping bags and inflatable mattresses proved useful to find accommodation at campsites during our road trip instead of wasting time in search of vacant rooms.

Pack

by dr.firas

Plus to your camera equipments which is a crime not to have if you go to Lisbon without, you need to change some Euro's if you are not European citizen, and also it is not needed to buy a metro mep, you will have it for free in any tourism office or railstation, a guide book is also some times not needed for simple 2 reasons:1-You can have a small one for free from the Hotel2-If you need it just to know how to go, don't be afraid, almost all the Lisbon people speaks either English or French ;-D

In Portugal in general!

Pack to Belem

by dr.firas

You will need all your camera equipments, Belem with its Gothic beauty is a place to be adored and you'll be forced to have loads of photos, even if the place is not so big to consider, but it is similar to the Vatican city in Rome, Belem is a little city in a city too!

Pack and Bag to Lisboa!

When having fun in the sun...

by SonOfLusus

Don't forget your sunglasses. Even in spring, the sun in Portugal is quite bright and blinding. Also don't forget your sunscreen if you are visiting in the summer. Most importantly, don't forget some comfortable shoes. Portugal's main cities are quite hilly.

Lots of film!

by acemj

If you travel in the off-season as I did, be sure to bring raingear. I had plenty of sunshine, but also periodic showers and a few rainbows to boot! Portugal is renowned for its brilliant light and the way that it bounces off the white stones and walls of its towns. Be sure to bring a lot of film and all of the appropriate camera gear to capture this photogenic land.
