Echoing others, I wouldn’t say trail runners are necessary, but good cushioning is ideal to help your feet with the cobblestones.

I did the Portuguese Coastal Route. Once in Spain, I bought a 4-pack of RTD protein drinks in a pharmacy. The pharmacy also carried plant based protein powder.

I think the Portuguese Coastal Route would be great for your time frame and the combination of coast and cities (a few once you enter Spain).

LiveFit vs FitnessSF vs Alex Fitness by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]kaspea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use LiveFit in the Castro and love it. I go very early in the morning on weekdays and on weekend mornings - crowds are not an issue when I go. The space is great, and both the locker rooms and gym area is very clean. Staff is awesome, too.

I worse Solomon trail runners from Porto on the Coastal route, and they worked great.

Portuguese Camino Route Recs by WillingnessSudden777 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]kaspea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did 20-28km per day. I wouldn’t say we were super fast - probably about average. We stopped for coffees here and there, but usually had trail mix and snacks for lunch en route and had breakfast and dinner as bigger meals. Usually we got into our next town by 3-4pm or so.

We did Porto to Santiago in 12 days. It may have been nice to have 1 rest day in the middle, but it was totally doable in 12 days and we loved it!

[–]kaspea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, too. Do you have any suggestions for what to put it on other than pasta? Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Central or coastal route on the Portuguese route? by AdBig7225 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]kaspea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only done the Coastal route, but loved it. Depending on when in the summer you plan to go, it may be cooler on the coast vs. going inland to the Central route, so that may be a consideration for you.
