We had the wonderful experience of walking the Camino Frances last year and are thinking of doing the Portugues Coastal from Porto.
We have researched and have a good idea about the route and elevation changes. However, we have only found spotty references to the actual trail conditions under foot such as pavement, boardwalks, cobblestones, etc...
What are the conditions and, if possible, can you relate any rough spots to locations on the CF? For example, is there anything comparable to the terrain coming down from Alto del Perdon into Uterga?
Ideally this includes the Senda Litoral because we would like to stay as close to the coast as possible. Does this involve any walking on sand and if so are there paths or boardwalks around those areas? Or would this involve avoiding the SL?
Also, are there plenty of places to stop for coffee or breaks as there were on the CF or is it more selective or sparse?
Thanks in advance for your help.
