Time of past OR future Camino
(2018)
I am hope to do the coastal route in September or October, but I may only have 2 or 21/2 weeks. What would be the best use of the time- beginning in? ending in?
I did the Camino Frances in 2017, but did not finish, so Santiago can wait, or not?
Thanks,
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hi, I am also doing Portuguese coastal route from Porto to Santiago in September. I only have 2 weeks and I was told its more than enough time to complete the route. I was in Santiago in April after doing part of CF. I know the camino experience is not about finishing in Santiago and more about nature, scenary and peace and it was but the feeling of making it to the end was very satisfying for me.

If u decide to do it this September, maybe we will run into each other.
 
We took two weeks off and did tree days in Porto then headed to Baiona by bus where we started the Camino Portugues Coastal. We did Baiona to SdC via Variante Espiritual in 9 days, with many easy days because we didn't know how to expect or how our bodies would react.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

You can easily go from Porto to Santiago on the coastal route in 2 weeks, we did it in 12 days, but did not do the Variante Espiritual which would add on another day.

Was the bus to Baiona easy to take? We will be there next week.

Yes! We took the 10h15 bus to Vigo from Porto in Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, it's a yellow one, named Autna, was half hour late and made us a bit nervous, but it always passes there, just wait by the sidewalk. Bought the ticket on the bar in front with the lovely Brazilian waiter.
Then on Vigo station, downstairs at stops 9, 10, 11 and 12, I think, at 15h30 we took the bus to Baiona. The info guy there did not speak English, so a few words in Galician/Spanish will be useful
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
