    Are hiking poles needed for Porto to Vigo?

    Except for the boardwalks where they can get stuck eternity sections, 2 poles used correctly are greatly beneficial on successive day walking - gait, joints and stride are all improved …if used correctly. Pacerpoled website has good info. even if you’re not buying their kit.

    Camino Portugues (Coastal Way) starting from Baiona - May 2019!

    You have a grestvcamino ahead of you. Vigo can be difficult to get into - I always take a local bus from the suburbs. Easy enough to leave and enjoy the Senda da Agua, with great views of the Ria.

    Camino Portugués - Coastal Route

    Viano de Castelo is lovely. Oia in Spain. Vigo is graft in and out,but a great city. Padron is worth a day. If you have time - Variante Spiritual outside of Pontevedra,another great place. The coast has the most! Bom Caminho.

    Camino Portugues

    Hola, have walked both and they are equally memorable. The third time was last September, Coastal and then the Variante Spiritual, which is a fascinating detour and well signed - thst would get my vote - June, every time.
