    Vila do Conde to Arcos route information

    Great decision! My husband and I walked from Vila do Conde to Arcos in September, and it wasn't nice. We took a taxi part way because we felt it was dangerous to walk (no shoulder, steep concrete walls, lots of agricultural trucks). The best part of the Central after Arcos starts in Barcelos...

    Douro River Cruise

    We walked the Camino from Porto to Santiago in September, then did a Viking river cruise on the Douro (it starts in Lisbon). We enjoyed it alot. However, a couple days before it ended, I got Covid. My husband did too. Viking was very dismissive of it and not caring if we exposed others...

    O Porrino to Redondela

    What is the descent like into Redondela? Brierly describes it as almost vertical. When researching on this forum someone said it is very, very, very steep, and caused foot problems for the rest of their trip. What do people think? One option is to walk part of the way from O Porrino, and then...

    Backpack transport cost

    Thank you. I sent my backpack ahead one time when walking the Frances when I wasn't feeling well. It was 5 euros with Correos. My husband and I are going to do the Portuguese Central this year. We 4 years older now (70 and 72), so considering transporting a duffel with some of our stuff...

    Porto to Vila do Conde

    We walked from Porto in June. We are 66 and 69 and in good shape. I think going all the way to Vila do Conde would not be fun. We split it up and walked the first day a bit past Matosinhos and stayed at Caravela (in Perafita). Best to book ahead. They have a few private rooms and it was...

    Bus Mos to Redondela

    Can anyone give me information about getting the bus from Mos to Redondela? We will be heading from Porrino but thinking of taking the bus for this section because of the dangerous last part into Redondela.

    Train from Lisbon airport to Porto

    I’ll be arriving early in the morning at the end of June or early July at the Lisbon airport, needing to take the train to Porto. Is it OK to buy the train ticket when I get there instead of ahead of time? Is there a train ticket that allows one to take any train? The challenge is not...
