I did the Spiritual Route in May 2022. Please note other than the Monastery (breakfast was coffee and crackers) and the Albergue in Armenteira there are no other accommodations. I saw some pilgrims call a taxi to take them back to Combarro for lodging, then return the next morning to...
Thanks for the updates. I was planning on walking the Coastal Route from Viana Do Castelo to Caminha- but now will consider the Littoral. If the weather is good, the beach it is!
