In Part II of our Camino adventure, we, as a group of Active Travel Adventures listeners, walk "solo together' to complete the Portuguese Way Camino Coastal Route with the beautiful Spiritual Way Variant. We all had the same itinerary and lodging, but we could walk our own Camino, each day deciding whether to walk with others in the ATA group, solo or with new friends met along the way.

You'll learn what to expect when doing an El Camino ("The Way") to Santiago in Spain, where the relics of St. James are said to be buried under the magnificent cathedral.

You'll get plenty of tips and insights about planning and doing your own Camino or long distance walking holiday.

After concluding my solo-together group experience, I headed solo to Finisterre, another five days walk to the ocean, to the 0.00 km marker at 'The End of the Earth", where many 'pilgrims' would toss their ratty shoes in the sea and collect a shell to prove they'd completed their Camino.
