    Portuguese Coastal/Lit - Private Rooms, Bedding, Looking for Advice & Recommendations!

    Hi, Lauren, You both will have a wonderful journey☀️ We did the Caminho Português in September 2016 from Porto along the coast, turning inland at Caminha along the Minho river and crossed it over the bridge at Valenca/Tui, entering Spain and proceeding along the central way to Santiago de...

    Coastal to Tui

    We did the option along the River Minho and really enjoyed it taking several stops to swim as it was sunny and quite hot. We stayed for the night at a hotel in Valenca as we wanted to explore the impressive fortress and it was worth it. But if you want to meet your friends in Tui then probably...

    Route with minimized walking on main roads

    My friend and I walked the Portugese Coastal from Porto in September 2016 - loved it😊 I don't recall long stretches on main roads, just at some places.

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Thanks, Albertinho, for your suggestions:) Yes, one of the reasons we wanted to go to Valenca was to "change the scenery" as we would have walked along the coast for four days. On the other hand, I try to avoid big roadside walking.

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Hi Jill, and thanks for pointing out the wind/rain factor! I'll also read your threads, but now it's getting late...

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Thanks, Greyland! How did you cross the river? It seems to be a problem... Oh, it had not occurred to me that Tui is the 100km point... Are there many people who start from there? Not so many as in Sarria, I guess...

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Thank you, we will have to see about the km and time, we should be in Santiago on 9 September. I read about the ferry in an older post that it had stopped its service but that the municipality was about to repair it... And since we were more inclined to go to Valenca, the ferry was not so...

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Hi, Mel, Thanks for your advice and also your posts about the Nuts and Bolts and the accommodation list:) It seems we will have to reconsider the route, so many of you suggest to continue along the coast. I hate roadsides and try to avoid them if possible. May I ask about the accommodation? We...

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Hi and thanks, Doogman! Isn't the A Guarda - Vigo stretch a bit longer? I am now comparing both options, it seems it might take 1 day more?

    Help with Portuguese Coastal Way

    Hi, Diane55, could you please tell more about the "non-Camino" route (bike/walking path) along the river to Valenca? Is it nice? I read a comment that the Valenca stretch is mostly along the big roads which I hate, so your suggestion raises hope. We will start the Coastal route from Porto on 30...

    Coastal route via Valenca/Tui or Vigo?

    Hi! First I'd like to thank everyone for your posts, maps and advice on this forum - you have been a great help in planning our first Camino - my friend and I will start the Coastal route on 30 August from Porto. But we are in two minds about whether to turn away from the coast at Caminha and...
