Lisa and Josh makes the Camino looks like a breeze but the truth is it takes resilience , preserverance , high threshole of pain and immense ingenuity and adaptabilities to complete the whole route , i am truly inspired by both of you , well done
That's amazing. Everyone experiences the pilgrimage differently. You two look way more relaxed than the first outing.
I have enjoyed this journey with you so much. I doubt I will ever have the opportunity to do the Camino so living vicariously through your eyes has been such a pleasure. Thank you...I love your channel!
Absolutely LOVE all you two have shared as you have walked these caminos. I will SO miss not seeing you both. I hope you have other adventures ahead to share with us. Thanks so much for all the work you have done to make h your channel so enjoyable. Buen camino and look forward to seeing you tomorrow for your final day…
The quality of your videos just keeps getting better! I loved the quiet reflective scene at the end and I got a sense that this last day is bittersweet for you guys. Makes me want to return to the Camino because I remember that feeling.
thanks for saying that! :) yes! bittersweet is always the perfect way to describe the last days of the Camino
Wife and I are starting the Camino Portugues Coastal route from Porto next week, April 28th. Walking out of Porto via senda litoral path. Can’t wait to actually see so many of the places and highlights I’ve watched on RUclips from people like Lisa and Josh. Gonna be a blast!!
how incredible!! Bon Caminho! enjoy the journey :) thanks for watching!!
I'm writing from my albergue bed in Pontevedra right now.
Enjoy your walk!
Great seeing the Camino Portuguese through your eyes! I recognized some spots from our walk, but that is what makes the Camino so great; everyone has a unique experience. I think you could walk the same Camino over and over and have a unique experience each time. Buen Camino!
Same here
Just to share my two cents: I have done the Central Portuguese Camino starting in Barcelos. I started on March 16, 2020, and had to stop at the border between Portugal and Spain in Valença due to the advancing of the pandemic. I got back then in September 2021 to the place I had stopped and completed it to Santiago, and then to Muxia and Finisterre. It was a great time in September, as the weather was perfect and there were many pilgrims along the way. But I would say a right balance, as you can decide to keep walking introspectively if you want, and then open up as you deem fit. I also stayed in private small hotels, with my private room and bathroom, which was perfect and very convent. The Portuguese Camino starting in Porto is an excellent option for someone that has say only 15 days available. I am know planning to do the Camino Primitivo (around 330 km). I would the Portuguese Camino would be perfect in May and September, the best weather seasons.
I love Caminho da Costa! Your videos is like a time travel machine for me, I imagine that I'm there with you walking again) Some sweet memories!
I walked my Camino Portugues in the beginning of May. There were a lot more peregrinos, cafes and albergues. It was a mix of chill vibe while walking the costal route and a lot of fun walking by the other pelegrinos after all three routes came together. I usually recall that loud group of about 5-7 Italian guys and girls with a smile on my face) They were so funny!
Excellent video and comments! Please try one time the Camino Primitivo and make a documentary. You will love it! It can be done in 2 weeks and it is not the most traditional and best known (that would be the Frances), but it is amazingly beautiful, the king of Asturias was the first one ever doing this way (Oviedo to Santiago) when the tomb of Saint James the Apóstol were found in Santiago, the very first Camino is the Primitivo, you make great videos, it would be amazing seeing a documentary from you guys on the Camino Primitivo
Hello Lisa and Josh! Thank you so much for this video! I have just started thinking that I may do the Camino Portuguese in October but it is still in the infancy stage -so not quite fully adopted yet. I, like many others, was all set (packed, flights, everything!) to head out on the Frances in May 2020 but, yup, the universe had other ideas for us all. So, now I have a friend in Portugal who I am able stay with as a home base and with 24 days vaca, I could possibly do this! Both of your opinions were so wonderful and I really enjoyed how you explained the differences between the two Caminos. I think that this is what I needed to get me started on the pilgrimage path. Cheers!
cant wait to see your next camino
Josh, it looks like you have lost some weight over the last year.Great job. Josh and Lisa, love how you are inspiring people to get out and travel.
You guys work well together.
I’m 99% leaning toward the Portuguese coastal route.
Do you think that it is safe for a woman to do alone? What time of year would you recommend?
Iam starting Camino Francés May 16. But I had a hard time deciding between Frances and Portuguese for my first camino. I had two note books at the same time with an itinerary for both. I would flop between the 2 every week than finally made the decision to do the Frances At 64 years old thought I would do the longer one first and the shorter Portuguese from Porto next if I get a chance. If I get a chance to do the Portuguese from Porto I will do the coastal all the way, that I know for sure. Love the ocean. Don't forget the Del Norte might be calling your name ha ha.
thanks for sharing your story!! :) yes!! del Norte is definitely calling for us! just as the ocean is calling for you!
Started my comment with the below, then started at the top to see all you experienced. I feel good about this. Less fears than below:
I’ve been getting more and more afraid to even consider doing the Camino, on any route. I’m near 75. Is this stupid of me? Is it even a possibility for me? How can I put it all together on my own? The flight, the rooms, the walk itself. Those are questions I ask myself. I’m leaning more towards, yes, I can do this. After watching this, I’m thinking the Portuguese route might be better. I hadn’t even thought of it but wished so much that I could walk along the ocean. I saw a RUclips that described that route, the walk along the ocean, as being very difficult. Maybe not the route you guys took exactly? I need to do something spectacular after the loss of my husband. I’m thinking he might join me in some way, my surfer boy, if I walk along the ocean. Thank you for this. I’m going to review all your RUclipss now, along this route, to understand the ups and downs. Bien Camino
Have you two ever considered walking the Via Francigena? My sister and I are researching it now.
Nooo ... I left my palo at the Cape at Finisterre ... it was a similarly melodramatic farewell!
we were so so sad to leave it behind! but could not fathom spending a couple of hours going back to retrieve it. The cape at Finisterre feels like such a special place for your palo :)
Have you put a trademark on “wine and recline” yet?? (You should!!) :D
haha good idea! we miss our wine and reclines and want to bring them back!! :)
Been neat to follow you guys on both Camino journeys. Which Camino will you guys do next year? Lol
hahah the age old question!! we are already thinking about del Norte, biking some of the Frances, the list goes on and on :)
@@LisaAndJoshthe Primitivo! Or… you can start on Camino del Norte then switch to Primitivo :D
Thanks again for your Camino Portuguese u tube posts. After doing the Portuguese last September I could live in Ponte Le Lima, Tui or Padron I simply loved the experience. Also congrats on your increase in subscriptions. I ask again what happened to the cat at the end of each segment,
thanks for watching, Darryl!
we lost our little guy Octavius last September. it was a hard decision to not keep him in our videos, but it was also incredibly heartbreaking to hear his voice all the time, so we decided to let him rest a bit. we miss him lots ❤️
😢
So the latest we’ve seen is that you reach Santiago ‘tomorrow’ - but that was a week ago - did you guys make it okay?
yes! we were able to get our last video posted just now :) thanks for checking in!
@@LisaAndJosh Awesome!
@ 12:00 - so, do you think that the Portuguese calls (or would call) you back like the Frances did (does)? What's your next one? I'm thinking of the Norte. Way to go ya'll!!
I suspect Josh's diet goal was a bust by the end.
From videos, I have the impression Frances is more of a cultural experience whilst the others are much less so. I'd do Frances but likely do a walk around Mt Blanc or the Swiss Haute Route rather than the other Camino routes.
I completed the Norte, 2 years ago and I'm on the Portugues Camino, right now but I don't really have an interest in the Frances route. (Too many people) The Portugues route is more enjoyable just don't ask my feet or ankles that.
@@jackg7225this may be a bit late, but thnx for the info. For me too, if I only had 1 chance to do the Camino, I'd do the Portuguese route (have watched vids of Frances & Portuguese). In the Frances, sure the Pyrenees mountains are beautiful but the route seems too crowded and commercial already. Because I don't like the cold, I'll likely be walking in late spring to early autumn, so those months would be peak season. I'd rather choose a less popular route - fewer ppl, more chances for accommodation. Cheers!
@@kitty_s23456 I was just thinking of the Camino yesterday. Kind of miss it. I felt like my Portuguese Camino was rushed so at the end of the suummer (mid Sept to mid Oct) I went back and did most of the Del Mar and all of the English way and the last 100 of the Primitivo over a month. I think the Del Mar was the prettiest but the infrastructure is not really there. I only saw 3-5 others walking that Camino and there was a lot of up and downs. The English had a moderate number of people a couple of good climbs but I survived. The Primitive wasn’t too bad until it joined up to the Frances and then there were so many people. I’m not sure I’ll go back. It was fun to meet people, it was a good experience but maybe I’ve had my fill of it with a total of over 1100 miles all together. Having walked in late spring, mid summer and early fall, the cooler temps along the coast really helped me vs the hotter temps when I turned off the coast. If I can talk one of my kids into doing a Camino with me, I would probably do the Portuguese Coastal route again. Buen Camino
@@jackg7225 thnx for the info. I would probably have 2 weeks only, so I'd walk either the coastal Portuguese route, the Del Norte or Primitivo. I've seen more vids of the Frances end part (from Sarria) and there's just too many people (for me). I hope you get to walk it again with your kids. Cheers & buen camino!
