Grant from State of Play is back AGAIN after he headed back to the Camino de Santiago, this time walking the Portuguese Way!
He finished still smiling; gear still working AND still NO Blisters!
There were however many MANY Pasteis de Nata's (Portuguese Custard Tarts!)

Walk it. Drink it. Do it again.

He'll talk all things the Camino this time round, following a different route, through an entirely different country, what was different and what was the same and what he's do differently or the same!

The Portuguese Camino has now overtaken the Frances as the most walked Camino, and since he's walked both, can offer a perspective and a few recommendations too!
And he'll talk about his next big adventure, the Kumodo Kodo in Japan. It's the sister walk to the Camino de Santiago, and they are the only two pilgrimage routes in the world to have UNESCO heritage status!

Plus, State of Play's brand-new 0% alcohol beer will be out - talking the total different brews to 6 (We can't wait to try this one!)

So come along, if you're planning on your own pilgrimage walk or just love to hear an adventure story (or love a good 0% brew, coz these are the best!).
