Next Club Meeting

Camino Portugal by Tom Vaughan

Tom Vaughan will give a presentation on his walk on the Camino Portugal

This is the most historic of the Camino routes with Templar castles, Moorish occupation and its architecture. There are several variations to the route from Lisbon, although the most popular starting point is Oporto.

The talk will cover our discoveries in Portuguese cuisine and experiences on the various routes and side trips, as well as unexpected pitfalls. One interesting point is the Portuguese fascination with tiles. There are also some myths and legends shared with places on the French Camino.

This trip included an extension to the Atlantic Finisterre and I'll share plans to walk other Camino routes.

Anyone who has been somewhere interesting, who would like to share their experiences with the club please contact Tom so we can give him a rest.
 

Please join us at Newmarket Hall, (Map)
