In 2017, when we became empty-nesters, we decided to walk the French Camino, it was a great experience, and decided we would love to do it again.
This time we’re walking the Camino stating in Porto (Portugal) to Santiago de Compostela in Northwest Spain. It’s a shorter distance, but we’re looking forward to it. The best part is that this time, the kids are joining us. James just graduated from college, and Alicia finished her junior year.
Our first stop was Boston for graduation, then James and I flew to Barcelona to visit family. A few days later we all met in Lisbon. We had a day to explore there. We’re now in Porto. We will spend 2 nights there, and start walking on Monday.

Fabuloso, McHughs! We are excited for you and a little jealous as well. Having a son and daughter on the Camino will provide a lifetime of rich memories (and a most interesting walk!). We are seriously considering doing portions of the Camino Frances again next year, most notably over the Pyrenees and through Galicia, or we may walk Wainwright’s Sea to Sea in England.
Meanwhile, we both wish the McHughs a healthy, safe and very enjoyable Camino Portuguese. Bom Caminho!
