    From Póvoa de Varzim to Rates

    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.

    First timer

    Boa noite peregrino, I wish you a pleasant pilgrimage. I hope you will always find a bed, because the coastal is very crowded at the moment. Nearly all hotels and pensions are booked out - too many portuguese holiday makers this year.

    Ponte Movel in Matosinhos reopened

    Olá, the bridge was closed due to a mechanical problem. But there was a shuttle service. Depending on the ship traffic, the bridge may be closed once or twice a day, but only for 10 - 15 min. That means a little rest for the pilgrims.

    Baggage Carrying on the Portugese Coastal Route

    Olá, I work as hospitalero in Angeiras for 4 to 6 weeks every year. We never had problems with Tuitrans, they do a very good job. They tell you where they put your backpack. To the albergue/pension when it is open during the day,or a nearby cafe/restaurant.
