Thanks Miguel if the metro goes straight to Villa de Conde it could be a good option. I will try to find some information. We do not need to go into Porto as we will be staying there on our return journey. Hope the coastal route is ok as the three of us travelling have a joint age of 205 we have done 2 previous Caminos , it gets harder each time, but we are looking forward to the trip.

We might have to resort to taking a tent but obviously would like to avoid the weight. We are doing research into accommodation if anyone has any ideas these would be gratefully received

My partner and I fly into Porto tomorrow evening, then we'll spend the night in Matosinhos and start...
