Hola!
I’m Alison, the writer behind Alison on Foot. Welcome to my website where I’ll be sharing all my travel adventures, many of them on foot.
In 2022 I walked the Camino Portugués from Porto to Santiago de Compostela for the first time and decided to start a blog to share all my experiences.
Since then I’ve walked another two Caminos and hope that my blog will give you some inspiration to get walking too. Even if you don’t fancy a multi-day hike like the Camino de Santiago I write about other shorter walks and hikes, plus guides to some of my favourite places.
Happy travels!

Spotlight on: Camino Portugués
I’ve walked the Camino Portugués twice and it’s safe to say that I love it! I’ve written lots of posts about both the Central and Coastal routes as well as other handy Camino guides. I also have a Facebook group, Camino Portugués Planning, which you should join if you want to chat to like minded people about this popular route of the Camino de Santiago.

Spotlight on: Andalucia
I moved to Andalucia from the Isle of Man in 2017 and have spent a lot of time exploring this beautiful part of Spain. It’s a great place for walking and hiking and the perfect destination for a holiday whether you want a weekend city break, a relaxing beach holiday, or an action packed adventure.
