Fishing is big business in Portugal. Over the centuries it has been a mainstay of the economy. Today the Comur company, based in Lisbon is preserving the tradition, and pulling the crowds with its range of tinned fish. You can buy all sorts of flavours of sardine, shrimp, tuna, mackerel and many more. Rob is taking a ‘ramble’ through Portugal and Spain in ‘23, join her as she makes her way along the Camino and across northern Spain.

Congratulations to young Spanish illustrator and artist Constanca Duarte,  @a_inconstancia for completing her street-art collection painted on electrical boxes in Porto. Artists are brightening up the streets of Porto with their work. 
Constanca fears the character of Porto is being lost due to pressures from tourism and her art is her way of keeping Portuguese tradition alive.
It’s tough making a living as an artist, no less so in Porto, good luck Constanca! #ainconstancia

Dick and Nicola from Holland are walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino with their best mates, four dogs. They started the 270km pilgrimage with three pooches but adopted the fourth after it was hit by a car and left for dead. Walking the Camino with dogs takes planning and patience, this team has both and the rewards are life changing

Walking the Camino with man’s best friends 

Walking the Portuguese Camino gives you plenty of time to think, get fit and chat with people from all over the world. It was rainy and we were dodging a bit of traffic on the narrow roads when I met Patricia an Occupational Therapist from Lisbon. She works with dementia and Alziemer’s disease clients. She provides hope for patient and carers. Her advice- help is available, so don’t hide
