Started today in P de Regua. Steep climb for a few kms. Well signposted to the top and then some yellow arrows but at times not very obvious (unless I was off route). All on roads. Stopped at Hotel Oasis in Santa Maria da Penaguiao. €25 per night.
You'll be two weeks ahead of me, if you can keep the thread updated. Enjoy the walk. I know what you mean, I also walked most of the Portugese in sandals after getting shin splints on Frances dues to Gortex lined boots.
I have plans to do a section of this route next month (June 2018) from Peso de Pegua (where the railway line crosses) to Ourense. I shall be alone. My issue is footwear. I don't want to bring my big clodhopping boots. I have some decent walking sandals (which I used for the Camino Portugues)...
