Bom dia, living in Póvoa de Varzim I often find Pilgrims getting lost on the way to Rates.
There is an easy way, a bike lane (Ciclovia) on the old railway track leading to Famalicao. It starts right at the Metro Station (final stop) in Póvoa de Varzim.
All informations can be found here:http://catedraldesantiago.es/informacion-sobre-el-traslado-de-las-misas-de-la-catedral-de-santiago-durante-las-obras-en-el-interior-de-la-basilica/?fbclid=IwAR1865dXf3PXmcNujXq8PsA9rEVZ_DZjsXco-unrgNLrF2UVFaUV_oxvymY
For 10-days forecast Portugal have a look: https://www.ipma.pt/en/otempo/prev.localidade.hora/#Porto&Póvoa de Varzim

The monastery is located near Padron. Walking the Central way, you will pass a sign post, before a big bridge, leading to the right. Red arrows show you the way to Herbon. The deviation is about 5 kms.
A virtual visit here...
The AGACS informs, the pilgrims' hostel in the monastery of Herbon is open from April 17th.
The first announced date, April 1st, is canceled.
BTW:
You can get a very nice certificate if you attend the evening service
Olá peregrinos, A new route from Porto to Santiago is under construction, the Via Mariana. It leads roughly over Braga - Melgaç0 - Corelo and past Valga to Santiago. As the name implies, it is mainly Mary's sanctuaries that are touched. It also leads through the National Park Peneda-Gerès, off...
Boa tarde peregrinos, you can get a pilgrim´s certificate in Padron, the PEDRONÍA. All you need is a stamp from the church in Padron in your credential. Then go to the tourism office and collect your certificate. Sorry,today I was told, you can get it in the church as well.
Bom dia ,
A new message about the boat ride during wintertime:
ATENCION
AVISO
El barco que hace la Variante Espiriual ya no sube todos los días. Ahora es necesario un número mínimo de peregrinos. Para ello debe llamarse al telefono del barco .
El 12 de Abril de 2019 volverá a subir cada día...

Boa tarde, I recently found a message in a spanish newspaper about a backpack service from Roncesvalles. Link:

Using the Google translator, it´s easy.
Boa noite, the stupid "tradition" never ends. Once again, a pilgrim burned clothes in Fisterra. The result was a bush fire. Please, I kindly ask you, do not burn anything in Fisterra. Link...
Olá Albertinho , what about Vila Verde with it´s Albergue Heart Way Pilgrim House (donativo) ? As I remember, it´s about 20 km from Tomar.
Bom caminho, Rainer
Along the coast in early March. Most albergues are open, but other accommodations like pensões and hotels are closed - off season! You can expect a lot of rain and strong winds at the coast. Have a look:
