Your Daily Camino Warmup

Currently, as your trip departs over a month from now, there are no impacts to your scheduled departure and it is still intended to run. We will advise your promptly if this changes at any time.

We constantly monitor global issues, ensuring we have an in-depth understanding of the areas we visit. With multiple operational offices around the world in a variety of destinations, Intrepid has access to real-time safety updates and information within the countries we travel to. These staff are available to provide support to travellers on the ground if required.

Following on from my earlier note about the wildfires in Spain and Portugal, I wanted to give you an update on what I’ve found so far in relation to our Camino Portugués itinerary (Porto to Santiago, September 23–October 1, 2025).

* The major wildfires are concentrated inland in eastern Galicia and Castile and León, well away from the Portuguese coastal route we’ll be walking.

* Our itinerary takes us through towns such as Oia, Baiona, Vigo, Pontevedra, Caldas de Rei, Padrón, and into Santiago de Compostela. None of these areas are currently affected.

* The closest fires are roughly 70–120 km away from our path, so while they are significant, they are not in the region we will be travelling through.

Everything for our tour remains on schedule, and there is no change to our plans. I’ve also reached out to Intrepid for their official guidance and will share their response as soon as I have it.

This update is simply to reassure you that we are monitoring the situation closely and staying ahead of the news.

Kind regards,

Erika

You may have seen reports about wildfires in parts of Spain. At this stage, we are not aware of any impact to our Camino Portugués route from Porto to Santiago (September 23–October 1, 2025), and our plans remain on track.

I want you to know that we are aware of the situation, we’re tracking the news closely, and I’ve already reached out to Intrepid for clarification. I’ve asked them to confirm whether any sections of our route could be affected, what the current on-the-ground situation is, and what guidance they can provide for our group.

Either way, we still have time on our side — our tour does not start until September 23, more than a month away. This note is simply to reassure you that we are staying ahead of developments and will keep you informed.

If any updates come through, I’ll share them right away.
