Since 2018 a lot has changed imho :)
Coastal route gained a lot of popularity, but i rewalked it again in 2019&2021 .
I try to stay in minicipal albergues in Vila do Conde ,Marinhas , Viana do castelo or if you can walk a litle bit more to Carreco and stay in...
It was closed last year if I am not mistaken, same for Santa Clara in Vila do conde . Just get camino ninja app there are few other options around povoa do varzim . I just ended in agucadoura hostel 7 Kms after Povoa do varzim .
I've walked coastal route from Porto to Santiago in mid july and the only place that i had problems with albergues was Redondela , but i guess its normal for place where 2 routes are united .....
P.s i didnt book at all ;)
