    Leaving Porto May 31

    Wondering if anyone is around and leaving to do the coastal or central route on May 31. I’m am feeling nervous about getting lost on my own ( as I have done throughout the day as I explored Porto). Also wondering if I should’ve booked accommodations because of the number of people around here!!!
