  I chose the Central route with the Spiritual Variant in Portugal after having just walked the amazing Rota Vicentina. I knew the Coastal route from Porto wouldn't seem nearly as special after experiencing the RV. I was actually missing the Camino...

  I'm in the camp that doesn't understand the hipe about either the Coastal/Littoral and definitely not about the Central from Porto. Yes, there are several interesting cities to visit but the Camino route itself? No way. The Central runs during...

  I did this Camino in 2018, 2019,2022 and 2024. I personally update the guide each time. None of it is copied. Contact the accommodation 1 or 2 days before your stay. GPS tracks or the stages on your Phone IS ESSENTIAL...

  That’s a great point. There’s not only one (or two, thinking of coastal v central) camino path to walk in Portugal. There are others with less road walking than the standard CP that may appeal more to the OP, although most have virtually no...

  My perspective is that I’m open to traveling/walking anywhere once. I’d hate to miss out on something because of my preconceived ideas. So far, I’ve never been disappointed! Bim Camino!

  Several pros of the CP is being able to walk along the ocean for several days. Porto is a delightful place to visit for a few days before starting out and Viana do Castelo, Baiona and Pontevedra are very nice stops along the way.
