[QUOTE="JillGat, post: 1194884, member: 47729"] I thought the Camino Portugues from Porto was lovely and I found that there were plenty of accomodations and services along the way. It was a fairly easy walk. I walked it in June, 2019 and - at least then - it wasn't crowded at all. I took the bus in Porto to Matosinhos on the coast and walked on the Senda Litoral for the first couple of days. From my research, it sounded like the prettiest route from Porto. It hugs the shore along wild beaches and part of it is on a long boardwalk, which is pleasant walking (except there was a huge storm with punishing rain and wind for part of it. That was kind of exciting.). Around Vila do Conde, as I recall, I walked inland to join the Central Route. There was a short hairy section along a narrow busy road, but soon after that, I saw the site pictured here. Somewhere near Rates. To find that route connecting the coast to the Central Camino, I followed the directions on the Wise Pilgrim app on my phone. That app also has updated info. on accomodations and you can book your stays along the way if you want to. I highly recommend it. There were a couple of short climbs, but mostly, the camino wound through attractive villages, where I came across at least three small local festivals that were fun. The food was good, I met some nice people and - call me crazy - but I recommend this route. I hear it's a lot more crowded now, so you might want to book your accomodations ahead, but then you are free to walk during the times of day when it's more peaceful. [/QUOTE]
