Hello all
Im starting the Portuguese Coastal Camino on July 1st starting in Porto. I’m reading a lot of posts here claiming there’s a lot of people specially on the last 100km.

I was planning on not booking rooms to get the full experience but now I’m concerned.

How early in the day do I need to start walking to guarantee a bed at a municipal albergue? I’m not a fast walker maybe 1h/10km.

Thank you and buen camino

Edit: sorry guys I mean 2h/10km of course 🤣 1h is my running pace

Guys I have two blisters on bottom of both feet. I already applied Compeed patches but it still hurts putting my feet on the ground. I really don’t want to use the needle method as it will take more time to heal.

Anyone dealt with this and has a solution? Or the solution is just dealing with pain?

Thank you and buen Camino
