Hola, my friends want to know if they are qualified for a Compostela if they start walking from Porto and walk Variante Espiritual? Taking a boat from Vilanova de Arousa to Pontececures.

Today afternoon I reached Finisterre after 29 walking days en route from Lisbon.
Camino Portuguese is wonderful.
It is different from the Camino Frances in a positive meaning. Lots of road walking, many days not much shade, not many cafes, quite many newly opened albergues and hostels, helpful...
Someone asked in another thread (which i cannot find right now) if there was a coastal route between Lisbon and Porto
Yes, there is at least a map you can follow:

I do not know how well marked it is - probably not so well...
Here I am on a Saturday night and watching the movie THE WAY again.
Each time I watch I find new aspects in the movie.
Very addicting :)

I love this camino :) I use Luis Freixos guide and maps which I have on my iPad mini. So first time no books!

I had great time in Santiago. Almost two weeks as an Amiga at the Oficina del Peregrino in Santiago and welcomed about 14 000 pilgrims arriving at the office with my team Jim from Dublin and Bianca from Chicago. What a great team in co-operation with Trish and Bill (UK) and Lesley from Dublin...
Is it on the Le Puy Route?
Somewhere about 200 km before Saint Jean Pied de Port and all together 1000 km on the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela.
Buen Camino!
