Hello all Camino veterans, I am starting from Porto on March 12. So far, difficult to locate any albergue. How do I get credential stamp (need 2 now between stages)? I like advice on the weather along the coastal route, please.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
March is really quite mild (not too hot) Spring flowers. I think there's a recent post elsewhere on the forum about two sites that list open refuges on all routes etc (one of them being Gronze).
Bom camino
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

You can get your credential stamped at your lodging, churches, bars, restaurants, etc.
You need two stamps per day during the final 100 km if you want to receive a Compostela.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Hello
i walked the costal route from Porto in April 2019. The weather was generally warm and pleasant but it was also my wettest Camino. On the days when the storms come in off the Atlantic, they are biblical but the good days are truly wonderful. you only need two stamps a day for the last 100k and there are many places along the way that have stamps (cafes, bars, shops, churches etc). As you will get a stamp from your alberque you will only need one more stamp per day.
Buen Camino

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Thank you.

Ask in Portugal for “ um carimbo por favor “ and in Spain “ un sello por favor” what means a stamp please in both languages
 
I too am walking the Coastal Route in March; thank you for your weather updates everyone! We will need bag transport for some of our party and I wonder if you have had luck locating a service. Does anyone have any transport recommendations? Heading back on the Camino after 3 years away and have missed it so.

Caminofacil provides excellent baggage transport service on the coastal route
 
We used Tuitrans on both our coastal Portuguese Caminos and were satisfied with their service.

Thank you! I am learning that the Coastal "season" starts around March 15 to 22 as do most bag transport services. I will let you all know who we work with early March.

And to add to what others have said, I too walked the Camino Portugués da Costa from the 16th to the 27th of March of 2019 and had nothing but marvelous, sunny weather from the very first day. I was prepared for cooler, rainier days and ended up leaving a warmer top at the hotel in Oporto - where I returned after being in Santiago de Compostela. It was such an incredible gift to have walked by the ocean with warm breezes and the sun shining daily!
May you have an amazing experience and the weather be kind to you!
