My 1st Camlno, advice please
Take the train. quicker. When you leave Vila do Conde stop and spend the night in Rates the go on to Barcelos. When you leave Mama Fernandas house spend the night in Ponte de Lima. Be sure to visit the border fort in Valenca. Buen Camino Happy Trails- Urban Trekker

Footwear on the Portuguese
Like other forum members have said Cobblend stone is the surface of choice in Portugal. The stones will get to you. You will also walk many miles on the Via Romana. The same roads walked by Roman Legions. I'm 66 and wouldn't dream of wearing running shoes on the caminos. Old feet require...- Urban Trekker

Transport from Porto to Tui advice please
It too bad you can't walk from Porto to Santiago:(. I have taken the bus from Santiago to Lisbon;). Bus or train, your pick. If you're not pressed for time take the bus. You'll have time to see what you missed. Go on line to check both and see which one will be best for you. Portugal has a...- Urban Trekker

The Old Folks Hit the Trail Again
Old people don't walk the Camino. They ride the bus to the highlight cities and go on city tours. The older but young at heart people walk the caminos. At 66 I hope I can remain young at heart when I'm your age. I walked from Porto to Santiago in 2014. Costal route the first day then inland...- Urban Trekker

New Camino walker
Start walking on a regular basis to get yourself ready. Be sure to bring a adequate supply of your medications and double bag them to keep them dry. If you can, bring a medical printout of your medications, the strength, and dosage. If you are going to spend the night in Tui and you have the...- Urban Trekker

Why Do Adventure Snobs Hate The Camino De Santiago? By Tom Allen
They carry a much bigger pack than pilgrims that know better. They carry everything we carry plus food, water, and shelter. We have fountains, cafes/bars, and albergues. They live in the wild and far from civilization. We spend the night indoors in a bed in a village or town. They live...- Urban Trekker

Vila do Conde or Mosteiro de Vairão?
When exploring Porto, take the metro to Matosinhos and then follow the ocean and river back to Porto. Its a great walk with plenty to see and you can have dinner at one of the restaurants along the river. If you are going to take the coastal route you need to start early. Porto to Vila de...- Urban Trekker

Vila do Conde or Mosteiro de Vairão?
Take the coastal route. It makes for a long day, 24 kilometers I think, but the walk is well worth it. Cross the bridge and turn left, walk to the Atlantic, turn right and follow the the beach and arrows. The walk from Vila do Conde to Rates and the main route is great too.

Walking to Portugal.
In 2014 I passed a lot of people walking to Fatima. It's a more strenuous walk going that way, steeper climbs. Just follow the green arrows -->, they are usually with the yellow arrows <--. Buen Camino Happy Trails- Urban Trekker

Portuguese or VDLP
I only walked the short Portuguese route, Porto to Santiago. Didn't have time to walk from Lisbon to Porto. Wished I had walked to whole thing. I'm not familiar with the VDLP but I can highly recommend the last half of the Portuguese route. If you liked Spain you will love Portugal. Buen...- Urban Trekker
