    Senda Litoral late April-May and what to pack

    I have done both routes and was there last week. My advice is to pack light you can always buy along the way. All the albergues I stayed offered pillow. I never got bed bugs and didn’t always use my silk liner. Bring a towel bc that was not offered often. I didn’t need gloves last week. I...

    Starting in A Guarda but how to get there?

    My partner owns a rural house on that street of the restaurant and an apt in Baiona. Coincidentally we were thinking today the house near A Guarda may be helpful for pilgrims starting their journey and the apt in Baiona for those wanting to stay a few days during or after their camino. Have a...

    Starting in A Guarda but how to get there?

    Exactly. There is a bus but to be honest not so easy to take. You can check once you are there in google maps/ public transport. If your schedule allows to take the bus from airport to Villa Nova de Cerveria and then walk/taxi to A Guarda is best. For the bus you can buy your ticket on line...

    Starting in A Guarda but how to get there?

    100 euro from airport to Vila Nova de Cerveria or A Guarda not bad for 1 hour drive. But the bus (10€) from airport to Vila Nova de Cerveira and then taxi to A Guarda (10-12€) is doable.

    Starting in A Guarda but how to get there?

    The way I’ve done it is you fly to OPO buy a ticket for the bus (AuTna) which picks you up at the airport and takes you to Villa Nova de Cerveira for about 10 Euros and 1 hour trip. Once there you cross the Bridge toward Spain which has Camino bronze shell and Yellow arrows and walk through...

    February Weather - Coldest Day?

    I am familiar with the area bc my partner’s family is from there. I don’t think you’ll need shorts, maybe capris if you easily get hot. You walk next to the ocean so it’s a bit more windy. Good luck. I’ll be there end of month….buen camino.

    Via Coriovallum (the Netherlands)

    Never heard of it. I am now living in Amsterdam may be nice to do for a day hike to get the sense of it and see if I could do it longer. If anyone is interested let me know to coordinate.
