    Comparing Descent to Redondela on Coastal vs Central Portuguese Routes

    What I realized though, is that we might miss the little donative stand of drinks, snacks and fruit and small souvenirs that has both the yellow hiking and blue hiking boot on a post. IF I remember correctly that stand was right after the descent on the way into Redondela. May have to walk over...

    Comparing Descent to Redondela on Coastal vs Central Portuguese Routes

    Thanks! Good advice to bring lots of water and some food for walking above the city. I am okay with my quads feeling it, but that descent from the Central from OPorrino really did in my toes at such a steep angle--even with self imposed switchbacks! I tied my shoes in a heel lock, had on two...

    Comparing Descent to Redondela on Coastal vs Central Portuguese Routes

I wonder if this...

    Considering this modified route. Compostela qualifier?

    Thank you! The more I am reading and learning, it really doesn't look that hard to book in advance and design our own itinerary. The travel companies I have talked to want us to go directly from Pontevedra to Armenteira which is 21.4k and then Armenteira to Vilanova Arousa which is about 24.6k...

    Next question... is that path "do-able" with a travel company sorting out our lodgings and shuttling luggage. Would love to stay at the monastery in Armenteira. My friend and I are in our late 60's and not carrying full overnight backpacks, just a day bag. Thanks!!

    Considering this modified route. Compostela qualifier?

    Question... we are considering starting in Tui in May 2022--- taking the Spiritual path at Pontevedra and continuing like you and your wife. Would it matter if we started in Tui and not in Valenca to receive the Compostela?
