To get to Covas from Ferrol there is a bus at 7.20 in the morning from Rua Igrexa

You get off in Covas outside a cafe where you can get a stamp and the old albergue is not far behind the cafe where the camino used to start. Bring food and water as there isn't...
Sorry if this is late but I've only just spotted it, after walking to Santiago I got the bus out to Ferrol and walked the Inglese, I then took the bus to Oviedo and walked back on the Primitivo.
The wild camping is easy if you're discreet, pitch up late off the track and pack up early, people...
Hi jerby
It's not an easy route as it's not really the official route that I'm taking, as for albergues there isn't any along the coast. I'm sure if you want there are plenty of small guesthouses and hotels as you pass through quite a lot of small tourist resorts. Personally I'm wild camping as...
Thanks
That looks like the one, I couldn't find it anywhere, I thought it was on the stretch between Lisbon and Porto along the coast but it's after Porto. It'll be a while before I get there
Hi
I'm currently walking from Lisbon around the coast and I'm near Catribana. I may be wrong but I read about some cheap huts for pilgrim's on a campsite along this route. I've searched the forum and can't find anything, am I dreaming or do they exist.
I've messed about with the various gps routes that I've found on the different caminos between Lisbon and Santiago and taken the bits that I think would work for me. It's added in extra straight bits that I don't know how to get rid of in the middle of the route but you can still tell the route...
Thanks for that, looking at the map I was planning on heading east around there and following the path at the Rio da Cal and picking up the camino du mar at Caldas da Rainha.
I'm planning on walking some of the route then cutting inland to pick up the camino du mar, I am taking my tiny tent anyway as already planned to stealth camp some nights. Looking at the route there are some water points among the way, a few churches, the occasional tourist info, restaurants and...
Thank you, that answers some of my questions as I'm planning on walking some of this route from Lisbon then some of the Camino du mar up to Fatima. I then plan to join the central route at Ansiao to Porto where I'll take the coastal route to pick up the Variente espiritual and onto Santiago...
Hi looking at the gps route on maps.me it looks like there's a coastal path from Fortaleza do Guincho (where the camino du mar cuts inland) to Cabo da Roca (The most western point of Europe), I was thinking of walking this route and then cutting inland to Ulgueira to pick up the camino du mar. I...
Is there any gps tracks for this route that I could put on my phone. I find looking at the gps tracks against google earth helps with the planning as gives me a good idea to see if I fancy walking this way instead of the inland route from Lisbon
