Hello, I'm looking for information on a less walked route between Geneva and Le Puy en Velay via Valence (actually starting at Valence....not Valencia ;) Can anybody help ?
Between Pontevedra, Calde de Reis and Padròn there are some lovely cafés or make-shift restaurants really worth stopping at. I never did because I was with a friend who, alas, was not in the pilgrim mode but rather performance mode :( It is so important who you decide to walk with.

Hello Dominik, Thank you for sharing this. I am very moved by your post as my brother in law, Nicolas de Rauglaudre, with an amputated leg has walked 4200 kms on the caminos (often on his own) He suppered terrible phantom pains and also bad blistering and sores from his prothesis.
I think it...
Thank you @Abertinho !!!! This seems hopeful ! Ovnitur goes from Porto to Ponte de Lima twice a day, weekdays. I will look into this option. https://www.ovnitur.pt/
Thank you. Yes I have and it says there are no buses nor trains for Ponte de Lima. @Albertinho has confirmed this, alas. So we have to find another solution knowing that we have already booked our return flights and all the accommodation along the way....
