[QUOTE="Jan_D, post: 661513, member: 42489"] You probably know all of this, but in case anyone else is confused: The Central Camino is the traditional camino from Porto, chosen by over 60% of CP pilgrims. It goes inland through historical towns like Barcelos and Ponte de Lima.You can also take a detour to Braga. It's very congested getting out of Porto, and into/ out of the bigger towns, but you also pass through some nice countryside and traditional villages with lots of medieval architecture etc. The "Costa" path runs close to the coast (not to be confused with the "Litoral" which literally goes on the beach or boardwalks, although they converge in many places). Some stretches of the Costa are quite built up, but you get to walk along the Atlantic and to experience Portuguese seafood and coastal culture. At some points you can choose to reconnect with the Central (for example at Vila do Conde there's an option to walk 10km to reach Arcos). Many Costa pilgrims walk until they reach the Minho River (border with Spain) and then head inland along the river to connect with the Central in Tui. Otherwise you can stay on the coast until Vigo (you'd have to cross the Minho by ferry). From Tui you head north to Santiago. Once you reach Pontevedra, you can take a detour onto the "Variante Espiritual" which goes along the coast again. Takes longer, but very beautiful. [/QUOTE]
