    From Caminha to Valencia (Central Route) or A Guarda (Coastal Route)

    I am starting this thread after all the positive replies I got from my previous thread. The only problem is that I have now doubt in my mind.

    Thank you for the wonderful info. I will have 2 days in Porto after I have finished my Walk to explore this beautiful city. I will take note of all your comments and hopefully have enough time to admire the beauty you mentioned here.

    Thank you for the info Johnnie Walker. I do not have a kindle and therefore have to get the hard copy book. I already contacted the CSJ here in Cape Town (South Africa), but they do not have your book for sale. It looks like only the CSJ in England do have it for sale.

    Thank you Doogman. After I have finished my Camino, I must return to Porto to catch my flight back home. Luckily I will have a day and a half to explore Porto then.

    Hi Jill. My sister walked it in April and told me just to walk with the river on my left. I want to follow the route as per Luis do Freixo. (www.caminador.es/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/1-CAMINHOS-MINHO-SUR-GUIA-2x1-2.pdf). I will report back when I have done it.

    Thanks for the info. The latter part of my camino (from Valencia) is in detail in John Brierley's book. It is the first part that I need some info on what to see. I will look out for the Via Crucis to the Monte Santiaguino. Is this the hill you mentioned?

    Hi Jill. I do have John Brierley 8th edition(2016). The Coastal route is only a couple of pages at the end of his book with only maps and lists of places to sleep, but no place of interest to stop at.

    Is the alternative route the one which do not go through the industrial area? Thanks for the warning about the albergue in Barro. I will try to contact them before I go (just to make sure they are open).
