    Suggestion where to start

    Whichever you decide, don’t rush through Valença and Tui lots to see and appreciate in these contiguous towns.

    Great place. I loved Tui as well

    Portugal

    It’s too quick a pace to get from Porto to Santiago in 8 days. 10 works fine. Maybe consider Tui to Santiago.

    Is it easy to cross from coastal to central path?

    Senta Litoral from Porto Cathedral to Vila do Conte and then to the central in Barcellos. Loved every minute of it!!!

    First Camino - Time kind of short

    Walked along the water from Porto to Vila do Conte and then the central route to SdC. 10 days of walking and it was fabulous. Took a rest day min-way in Tui and found that city and its surroundings the perfect spot.

    LIVE from the Camino Superb weather on the Camino Vila do Conde to Barcelos

    Love Pedra Ferada. The day I arrived it was 37 degrees and I was hot and exhausted and just put my head down on the table.

    Three days Camino

    I’d suggest that you wait until you have more than 3 days. It’s a beautiful experience and I believe you need more than 3 days to fully experience and appreciate it.

    Best Sightseeing Coastal and Central

    I would spend an extra day in Tui. You have two interesting towns that straddle the border between Portugal and Spain. The Cathedral, although not grand by many European standards is a gem.

    Thanksgiving

    As the Thanksgiving holidays begin in the U.S. I grateful for each Peregrino, I met along time The Way and for those who share these sacred paths. Took this photo at sunset from Capela da Peregrina in Pontevedra

    Valenca to Santiago in 3 days

    So much to savor. What's the rush?

    Portuguese Camino

    Also regarding the baggage transfer service: We carried the first 100 miles and then after developing some leg issues we used Correos which is run by the Spanish postal service. So worth it. About 6 Euros per day and they took our packs from hotel to hotel. Never an issue

    Portuguese Camino

    Having wanted to stay in hotels we used the booking.com app. It worked perfectly. Easy to book. Easy to cancel. Reviews at the fingertips. I’d suggest a rest day in Tui. It’s about 1/2. Tui, Spain and it’s neighboring town of Valenca, Portugal are fabulous. We stayed at a small hotel that was...

    Back into Porto

    Savor Porto. So many beautiful things to see and do. If you’re tired of walking the hop-on hop-off buses are a great option. https://city-sightseeing.com/en/79/porto/109/hop-on-hop-off-porto

    Leaving from Porto mid october

    Walked the central of the Camino Portugues. As we walked in late June this year saw about 15 other Peregrinos each day. I walked with one friend and enjoyed with peacefulness of an uncrowded route. Consider a rest day in Tui. Lots to enjoy on both sides of the Portugal/Spain border.

    1st stage out of Porto

    You might consider walking along the water Vila do Conte from Porto and then walking the central route. It’s a beautiful first day’s walk along the water mostly in boardwalks. Enjoy
