Hola pilgrims! I'm on Camino right now via the coastal route and seeking non alburgue housing my final night before SdC. Somewhere after Padron so that I have a shorter walk into SdC and can make mass.
Any suggestions/insight would be welcome!
Ps--I'm having my finest meal yet in Viana do...
Hi, Kylie--I could easily be wrong but I suspect you should be able to a pilgrim passport from the tourist office in front of the cathedral that another poster mentioned below.
I think we may be on the same route at the same time soon. You start soon, yes? I'll be starting from Porto on...
Thank you everyone for your very helpful insight and information links. There's so much--it's a little overwhelming--but I'm sure it will fall into place once I'm there.
Any idea when the Porto cathedral might open on a Sunday? I'm planning to leave that day, catch the train to Matosinhos and walk to VdC. I'm wondering if it might be better if I got the lovely first stamp on Saturday instead?
Hello all--I'm in the CP class of 2015 from Alaska to wander the coast of Portugal out of Porto then cut into the central route whenever I'm ready. On to SDC for a few days of rest before heading out to Finisterre and Muxia.
Hello--I'm planning to sojourn from SDC to F/M and wondering if I'll have a better shot of finding transportation back to Porto in F or M. Train or bus options?
Thanks!
This is probably a silly question but I'm wondering if there are either taxis or buses between some of the coastal towns to the central route? And if so, what would be the approximate cost for each?
Thank you!
@cj2003--you are a master planner, no? I've been following all your impressive route making/sleeping option documents. Thanks so much for the links here. I'm intrigued by the tapas link but can't get it to translate in Google translator. Will have to keep at it. Thanks again!
@Albertinho--I'm not sure if it includes the CP but you've confirmed my thinking that it can't be too terribly difficult to follow the coastline until I decide to head inland. Thanks for the reply!
I will be embarking on my first Camino in early September out of Porto and planning to do mostly coastal. I'm admitantly a bit overwhelmed by all the map/direction info out there and came across the Brierly app that has lots of other possibly handy features.
Has anyone used it for the Portugal...
