    Can anyone help with a starting point? : )

    I can understand the suggestion to start from Barcelos. To add som perspective, here's my trip (which I found a bit hard) in short form:

    Cycling from Porto to Santiago in 6 days

    There are a few climbs on the waymarked central route that I would only recommend to relatively experienced mountain bikers. But from studying maps, you could probably plan ahead and take minor detours on the roads. I shot this video of myself breathing heavily and mocking myself in Danish as I...

    Camino Portuges

    I've used www.urcamino.com for my planning. I believe it was possible to choose both routes. It is possible to set several criteria for the albuerges, you wish to stay in - as well as the length of stages, you wish to walk.

I intend to make it to Santiago on the 27th...

    Class of 2016

    In a week from now I'll be on The Way (pun intended!) for my first camino: from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. My flight lands in Porto late on the 18th and after seeing the Cathedral in the morning and having my bearings adjusted, I'll probably take the Metro to Matosinhos and follow the...

    Vila do Conde or Mosteiro de Vairão?

    This is the route, I intend to follow in a week; starting from Porto on the 19th. Depending on how fast I get the essential seightseeing in Porto over with, I suspect I'll take the metro to Matosinhos and start walking from there just before noon (which is also one of the options mentioned in...

    Starting from Porto 18 March

    This will be my first camino, so obviously I don't have any experience. But I guess we'll have at least some company from Porto, since it's doable to walk Porto - Santiago within the Easter days. My flight lands in Porto at 23 pm on the 18th, so I'll start walking north Saturday morning. And...
