    Portuguese Coastal Camino. Porto to Santiago.

    I doubt whether The walking route would be excatly the same for cyclists...some of it is on the beach, i did see bikes on the boardwalks but im not sure this was appropriate. Some of the woodland trails are difficult for bikes...i did see a couple carrying laden bikes slowly thru the difficult...

    Camino Portugues costal route

    I walked it in june 2017 as the indicated temperatures were low to mid 20's. However it turned out to be a heatwave averaging around 30 plus degrees c each day. So as advised above make sure you have say a litre of water with you, start your walk as early in the day as possible. Wear a hat. Use...

    Are reseverations needed in Late-April/May?

    That budget should be fine. I paid between 29 and 55 euros (tho Porto can be a bit more expensive depending on location and type of room). You shouldn't have a problem with accommodation but might be an issue if you halt in some of the smaller out of the way places. As you have time I would...

    Walking stages on costal/senda litoral a bit confusing

    Goodness me you are really pushing yourself with some of the distances here. I found anything over 27kms a real slog. I did walk in June and it was very hot and I'm in my sixties so it may be more possible for you...but you might want to try it out at home before you go.

    Coastal path from Porto to Vila do Conde

    Kind of my route exactly except I inadvertently diverted to the inland coastal for Marinhas to Viana and if you are looking for a little variety with beautiful villages some hills and beautiful forested walks then I would recommend doing as I did for this stage. The caminha ferry has a rest day...

    Portuguese Coastal Camino. Porto to Santiago.

    Concern about walking Coastal Route alone

    I walked the senda Litoral in June. There were other walkers but not many, it got busier after Pontevedra. The senda and inland coastal cut across each other and given that i was not forensic in my prior research and not really bothered about following maps while walking i found myself from...

    Portuguese Coastal Camino. Porto to Santiago.

    Having looked at the detail... in fact all three above go along the coastal senda at least as far as ramallosa and nigran...and I believe I walked near Saians before going slightly inland. 're Vigo buses perhaps the following sites useful http://www.turismodevigo.org/en/public-transportation...

    Porto to Santiago - which route?

    Hello happy I attempted the senda and Andy is right that certainly based on Brierley it kind of Segway between walking on the senda directly on the coast, and arrows that take you inland a bit...called the coastal route. The inland Portugues route isn't near the coast and is the most well known...

    Porto to Santiago August 2018

    I walked the portuguese coastal senda Litoral from Porto in June. I didn't use albergues out of choice. Although generally you are keeping the sea / coast on your left as you walk but i did have a bit of difficulty with way marking in Portugal...it's better in the Galician stretch...

    Walking from Baiona to Vigo.

    In lieu of a reply from someone in situ, you may find the trending thread on this site ... 'Fires impacting on Camino' ...useful. But just to say that you can get from Baiona to Vigo by way of the senda Litoral which follows the coast line (via Canido) to Vigo. Wishing you all the best and buen...
