Anybody Who Walked the camino portugués from Vigo to Porto (opposite direction)???? Costal route
Thanks for sharing your experiencia.
Mady
NoDo they mark the opposite direction? And are there many???
In 08 whilst home - exchanging in Caminha after our Camino Frances we came across maybe 6---8 people who were undertaking the walk from Vigo going south.
The majority went via San Perdo/Oia/A'Guarda on the Spanish coastal path and got the boat to Caminha .
I believe after conversations with these young pilgrims from many nations this would be the recommended way .
They loved it , the scenery and solitude and in 08 Mady there were not that many pilgrims .
The path ...... seek advice from the Tourist offices and keep the ocean on your right
The people are wonderful and kind , the accommodation good and not expensive.
You will love the albergue in Caminha
To enjoy a good , cold Sangres ""free "" don't touch "one" piece of bread or any part of a roll when you sit down for a meal ........they are the same price.
Enjoy this wonderful way and if there weather is kind enjoy the great coves and beaches.

Just slight clarification, blue arrows point the same direction as yellow from Lisbon to Santarem. They part in Santarem, but not every yellow arrow has corresponding blue arrow.Hello Mady! I had a direct answer from Miroslow to the question I posted above. Just in case anybody may find this interesting I repeat his answer here (he gave me permission):
"It is a challenge to walk against the arrows. Person knows there they point but it is not easy to figure out from where they might be pointing.
Blue arrows to to Fatima and leave yellow in Tomar I believe, but they are not fool proof.
Walking the Caminho few times I made a map which might work well for your walk. It is at caminhomap.com"
Voila!
If this caminho “ Eseugutrop “ is going to exist my dear friend , we are going to walk it together ?If you're walking the Portuguese camino backwards, does that make it a new one? The Camino Eseugutrop?
