Coastal to Central

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
We are considering switching from the coastal route to the central route. Is the way from Villa de Conde to Arcos market with arrows?
We walked from Vila do Conde to Arcos a couple of years ago. We took the route marked with green dots in the Brierley guidebook, which starts with an immediate right turn after you cross the bridge coming into town and initially follows the river upstream. We had no problem finding yellow arrows, but as always, it pays to be alert, especially around road intersections. Also, be aware after leaving Junqueira as there are some stretches of narrow roads without verges.
 
I walked fro Vila do Conde to Arcos last October, also following the route where you turn right and start walking beside the river immediately after crossing the bridge into Vila do Conde. I don't think I had any problems finding and following the yellow arrows, but I also had the route laid out in the TrailSmart app and could see where I was relative to the route, and where the route was going with that. It helped for peace of mind.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
