    Which route - CF or CP?

    If you have 5 weeks definitely do the whole Camino Frances. If you have 2 weeks I suggest you do Leon to Santiago or the CP from Porto

    CP Rest Day?

    Tomar's Templar monastery is worth a day off (we did a guided tour which took about two hours). Coimbra's 800 year old university and surrounds again is worth the time to wonder around. We are staying an extra night at the Parador in Baiona in June 2020 (we may got out to the islands). An extra...

    Partial coastal or full inland route?

    We are doing the Coast route starting in early June, 6 days up to Baiona, then a days rest, and then another 6 days into SDeC. So effectively 7 days coast and 5 days inland, which after driving it all in 2019, when we stayed in Ponte de Lima for 2 weeks, feels like a good balance. If you go...

    Advise to the beginner

    I would suggest you make sure you have the right equipment first and walk your shoes in. The Coastal version is nice and flat compared to the central version or Camino Frances. So you may find this the best to start with.

    If You Only Had Time To Spend In One City: Porto vs. Lisbon

    Having done both ourselves, and we are doing the Coastal route starting 3 June 2020 from Portowhen we are doing 3 nights in Porto, I would suggest Porto this time. Lisbon and its surrounds are fantastic in mid-September and late May. So maybe next time.

    Camino Portugues - most scenic route with less road walking?

    My wife and I are doing the Coastal Route in June 2020, 6 days to Baiona, then a rest day, and 6 days into Santiago de Compostela. We drove the majority of the route this year when we stayed in Ponte de Lima (a stop on the central route). Certainly in our mind the coastal route is very picturesque

    I Need starting advice from Porto

    We are doing the coastal route from Porto to Santiago De Compostela starting in early June 2020 (we did the Camino Frances in 2017 and part of the Via Francigena in 2018). We are planning to take the metro to Matoshinos, and then started walking from there. Suggest you look at the John Brierly...
