Camino Portuguese alone or with someone
I walked alone on the Portuguese Route including the Spiritual Variant from Baiona (because I had limited time and speed) in June of 2023. I had minimal contact to other people until I was only a day or two out of Santiago. It was fine. I never felt afraid and the relative solitude allowed room...- FirstSteps

How to get from Porto to Baiona
Check the Alta bus schedule. I took it from Santiago to Porto and imagine you could also go from Vigo. Very comfortable and inexpensive compared to a taxi. I took a smoky private car (taxi) from Porto to Baiona and did not enjoy the backseat ride through the hills. Hope you have some time to...- FirstSteps

Reflections on the Senda Litoral
I'm also looking to walk the Senda Litoral, though only from Matosinhos to Baiona. I'll be walking with my 77 year-old father and am intrigued by 10-12 mile stages. Could you suggest good stops at those distances? That would help us to book accommodations in advance. Thank you.- FirstSteps

Parador de Santiago
I second that the Santiago Parador is more than a room. I stayed there in a simple room with a gorgeous bathroom this week. The contrast between the arduousness Camino itself and the hospitality of the Parador makes me tear up. The staff appreciate the pilgrims and we are wholeheartedly...- FirstSteps

LIVE from the Camino Coastal from Porto
Thanks for these details. I'm reading about this last unpleasant stretch from Baiona to Vigo and wondering if you would recommend picking up a taxi to get from the highway into Vigo central. Would it be possible to find a taxi? (That will be my first and longest day so I'm trying to manage my...- FirstSteps

July 2023
Hello! I am excited to begin planning my first Camino in July 2023. I'm attracted to the Portuguese Coastal route because I love the sea and worry about the heat but am open to other suggestions. This year I am required to travel in July and only have 14 days between the day I leave home and the...- FirstSteps
