I see four options for the tours. Any difference other than pricing for senior citizen, pilgrim, etc.
Why does some options tell you that you need to purchase the same number of tickets for the Portico?
This is our plan for October starting from Tui/Valenca. Our first Camino so open to ideas.
We too would have like shorter stages but I have not found suitable accommodation between Tui and O Porinho and Pontevedra and Caldas de Reis.
Makes total sense. I find that when I hike, I spend more time looking where my next step goes rather than at my surroundings. Maybe my age but I am trying consciously to change that :)
As we make our preparations for our first Camino From Valenca to Santiago, I have what may be a very basic question.
What directions do you follow once you start walking? Are they marked out on the road, pathways? Do you use a paper map, smartphone app with guided directions like Waze? Ask...

Due to various reasons we are going to be starting from Valenca instead of Porto.
Thanks for the post and the pictures of the Valenca Fortress.

What mode of transport did you use? We are flying in and out of Lisbon. Plan to take the train to Porto to start on our Caminho but not sure how to get back to Lisbon.
