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.
