My husband and I have decided to start on the Coastal from Porto (in March) and just decide on the way when we want to cross over to the Central. As they said above, there are several spots you can turn and head to Barcelos for example. Our decision on exactly when to turn to the Central will be...
Wonderfully helpful info for us, thank you! I will be doing the exact same route in March 2019 and I was wondering what to do with our suitcases that we will have with us. We had to take a suitcase a piece as we will be traveling in Europe for 4 months and the Camino will be just a portion of...
