Time of past OR future Camino
Portuguese Coastal from Baiona Spain to Santiago de Compostela "September 9th 2019"
Only 8 more sleeps until our adventures in Spain begin!. First we will be walking from Baiona to Santiago de Compostela . We plan on doing this portion in 6 days. Can anyone recommend the best way to break this down. So far we are thinking of Baiona to Vigo = 25km but after that would like to keep it within 20 a day.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
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.

€83,-
From Vigo to Santiago is about 99,6 km. In theory this means five <20km. stages. But from where the towns and the albergues are, it doesn't work that way. Maybe this is an option:



Including the stage from Baiona to Vigo it's 6 days.

Instead of walking to Padrón, you might walk from Caldas de Reis to Iria Flavia: 19,6 km. From Iria Flavia to Santiago: 23,3 km. Or walk from Caldas de Reis to A Escravitude: 24,4 km. From A Escravitude to Santiago: 18,5 km.

It is possible to break it up into < 20 km. stages, but that would take a day extra and two short stages. For example:



Including the stage from Baiona to Vigo it's 7 days.

I hope this helps to make up your mind.
 
Thank you for mapping this out for me. I was trying to avoid the longer hike from Padron to Santiago. However I think your first suggestion makes the most sense due to our time constraints.

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
On the Padron to Santiago day you're ahead if you stay at the Albergue at Iria De Flavia it's right on the Camino route . Also if you can send on some of your gear to Santiago (maybe one bag between your group) then that longer final day isn't too arduous.
 
Thank you for your suggestions. It would be nice to lighten our load at this point.
 
We were three senior ladies who walked from Porto in May. I had a Packable holdall 75L which we started using only on the Spanish section when there were some steeper walking days ahead. We all put in the holdall our heavy gear that we were didn't need with us during the day. We sent on this one bag via tui trans and we carried our comfortable rucksacks with supplies for the day.
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Albergue Cruce De Iria is the albergue on the outskirts of Padron. Hector owns it. Go to his 4 pm talk it's very good. After that visit the church for the sello, walk back into town (not far without a rucksack) visit Pilgrim church (another sello here); then for to the tourist office and you will receive your Padron certificate. Hector will explain all this.
Very nice albergue we slept in the room for 6 at the top.

Wonderful. Thank you
 
You're very welcome. P M me if you'd like anymore info.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
It is an easy walk from Padron to Santiago. It is not a very nice walk though. Not as bad as walking into Burgos or some other stretches like in and out of Gijon but it a lot of walking on pavement and suburbs.

I don't remember that last day Padron to SdeC being too much pavement walking. I took some beautiful rural photos en route so it wasn't all suburban. At least there were some coffee stops and we had lunch in Milladoiro.

If I could I would walk through the woods all day long. However i will willingly embrace the trail as I find it.

Maybe it is that there is so much pavement/road walking on the CP that it just seemed like alot to me.

I may think differently once I walk it. I am just excited about our upcoming trip.
