    Is the only place to stay in Vilarinho the albergue?

    check on Google maps (for pedestrians!) and you'll get the answer =) Answer: 21,5 km (= 4:21 hrs walking). It is by the way Vila do Conde. But visiting the cathedral + sightseeing in Porto + taking the metro to Matosinhos + walking to Vila do Conde on ONE day (??!!) is maybe a bit too much...

    Is the only place to stay in Vilarinho the albergue?

    The metro (line B) goes even till Póvoa de Varzim, not only to Vila do Conde. And metro line C goes until Maia (metro station Castêlo da Maia). For pilgrims heading for Vilarinho (accommodation: Casa da Laura) or Vairão (albergue in the monasterio) take metro line B until metro station Modivas...

    Is the only place to stay in Vilarinho the albergue?

    I recommend the coastal road only until Vilar do Conde so that you can scip the industrial areas when you are starting from Maia and go up immediately north from there ... The road along the river Douro is very nice in Porto and the coastal road via Matosinhos to Vilar do Conde is a perfect way...
