Is there any information anywhere about Albergues on the Portuguese coastal route?

That is correctWe are starting in Porto and wanting to follow the coast as far as possible as we completed the inland route a couple of years ago and wanted to repeat as little as possible. I have read somewhere that we would have to rejoin at Redondela but can't find any guidance up to that point.
You will repeat the part Porto to Vila do Conde as you chose for the coastal detour instead of Porto to Vilarinho on the first day.We are starting in Porto and wanting to follow the coast as far as possible as we completed the inland route a couple of years ago and wanted to repeat as little as possible.

Hi Annie, I would love to get more information about the Portuguese Coastal Route. I want to get as much coast as I can! Thanks.Hola @portstewart99

O Laranjeiro the hostal ( Not the hotel with the same name !) highly recommendedViana do Castelo is a very nice seaside town with a pilgrim albergue, S. João da Cruz dos Caminhos. However if you are searching for private accommodation, consider the Hotel Residencial Laranjeira, rua Candido dos Reis 45. It a charming newly furnished small place with a very good dining room. Just before Christmas 2014 a double room with private bath and delicious breakfast was 45 euros. Quite a bargain!
Bom Caminho!
Look at my blog. Underneath mentioned and the you tube linksHi Annie, I would love to get more information about the Portuguese Coastal Route. I want to get as much coast as I can! Thanks.

Hi @anniethenurse--I'd love to hear more about your September coastal route, please. I'm new and couldn't figure out how to email you directly.When are you walking and which route?
I walked in May 2014 Porto- Matosinhos- Vila do Conde- Apulia - Viana do Castelo- Caminha - Tui and on the central route to Santiago. 12 etapas.
In September I walked Viano do Castelo- A Guarda- Guames - A Ramallosa- Vigo- Redondela- Pontevedra and on the central route to Santiago. 9 etapas.
Let me know if you still have some questions on walking on the coastal camino Portugues

Just now saw this @Kanga--thank you so much!@ak_troutbum hit the "Private Conversations" text and then the blue button that appears. On my web browser the text is towards the top of the page and close to the middle - just above the icon of an envelope. But it could be elsewhere depending on how yours is set up.
Hi, @cj2003! I keep looking at your beautiful, helpful document but can't seem to get it to print large enough to read it. Any suggestions? Thanks!Now I have added the files in my post above - they are a snapshot of the current status; I'll update them continuousely so there might be a newer version there before you start
Hi @anniethenurse--I'd love to hear more about your September coastal route, please. I'm new and couldn't figure out how to email you directly.
I'm leaving Porto on September 6 and considering the same route.
Thanks!
I had intended to show this document to you all a bit later (it will never be finished, but is still very much work-in-progress) - my little plan is to make a "All places to sleep on the Route Portugues - Route Monacal/Coastal" a bit similar to one found for the Camino Frances - with your help.
So when I am a bit further with it, I will make a more detailed seperate thread about it - it covers the camino I plan to walk next year and I hope to get input to it from you fellow forum-members.
But since Babchook is about to leave for the camino soon, I thought it might help him - you are all all welcome to comment in it (or send me a mail from it) and I'll happily add or change it based on your input - I will only add/change parts for the route I intend to walk, though.
Please notice there are two sheets in the GoogleDoc - the first one covers places to sleep, the second one gives an overview of the route and some usefull links to places or maps (at least, to me, that is...). From the GoogleDoc, we can create excel sheets and pdf - the GoogleDoc is just excellent to use as a teamworking document.
If you have a Google account, you should be able to comment in it - I have only tested with people using a Google account, so I do not know if everyone can comment in it, but you can also send me a mail from it.
Let me know what you think, any places that can be added and if something needs to be changed! In a few days or weeks I will post a seperate thread with it in.

Hi cj2003,
Thanks so much for sharing this document. We've literally just walked to Samil beach (Vigo) and got stuck for accommodation as there's no albergue. Emergency searches lead me here as usual and this info saved the day!! We got a twin room for €77 and its most lovely!
Thanks again!
Vicky
Thank you!! So glad to hear it made your day - you made ours!!Thank you for the post, Vicky!! It literally made my day and made all the work with the list worth it! Buen Camino!

Hey ,Hola @portstewart99
I walked the coastal two times last year.
Let me know if you have any questions?
Buen camino
Hey ,
I wish to do the coastal route in July starting from Lisbon and going to Porto or as far as we get in 13 days. Please can you give me advice on booking hostels, there are two of us, we hope to do about 25km per day
Hello Peregrinos (and Peregrinas),
Last year I walked the Camino Frances from SJPP to Muxia (Via Santiago).
In about 2 weeks I plan on walking the Portuguese (probably will start walking around August 9th) from Porto to Santiago and want to take the Coastal route as mentioned before by others "As closest to the coastline as possible" - I've started looking online and here and found many plans of walking it.
I would love for your advice on the following route + would love to know if there are Albergues or cheap pilgrim accommodations in the daily stops (and if you recommend specific one- better):
(If you can recommend a better coastal route- I'm all ears as well)
Porto - Vila Do Conde
Vila Do Conde - Marinhas
Marinhas - Viana Do Castelo
Viana Do Castelo- Vila Praia De Ancora
Vila Praia De Ancora - Oia
Oia- Mougas
Mougas - Vigo (Freixo?)
Vigo - Redondela
Redondela- Ponteverda
Ponteverda- Caldas De Reis
Caldas De Reis - Angueira De Suso
Angueira De Suso - Santiago
that's the only Coastal route I've found online, if you recommend changes in my plan I would appreciate and love to hear it and apply.
PS- I'm not rushing and have plenty of time to split days and take it easy if needed (open ticket for 4 weeks)
Thank you very much and waiting to hear back
Shay
Hi Shay, in my guide book I see Variante Espiritual. At Ponteverda you head to Vilanova, and hug the coast to Catoira. I think I saw a post re Variante Espiritual, so just search on forum for more info.
Bom Caminho

Hello @Alvertinho May I have a list of all the Albergues on the coastal route which from Porto all the way to Vigo and then turn to Redondela? Thanks a lot. I am going to do this route from 6th Sep. Thanks again !That is correct
I'll send you a pm !
There is a new one in Porto but I do not know thatHello @Alvertinho May I have a list of all the Albergues on the coastal route which from Porto all the way to Vigo and then turn to Redondela? Thanks a lot. I am going to do this route from 6th Sep. Thanks again !
There is a new one in Porto but I do not know that
The coastal goes from Porto via Matosinhos to Vila do Conde
On this stage is a new albergue in Vila do Conde. I do not know where this is. Last year I was in Vila do Conde but then the albergue did not exist yet.
Find info about this albergues and others by using the subforum on this Portuguese forum
After 5 kms after Vila do Conde is an albergue in Póvoa do Varzim
after 20 kms is an albergue in Esposende
In Viana do Castelo is no albergue but we stayed in hostal Laranjeiro. The owners walked the camino themselves. Very nice people and staying there. There is also a hotel Laranjeiro but ask for the hostal. Not the hotel !
In Caminha is an albergue and if you cross the Minho river to Spain by ferry or fisherman's boat, after 3 kms after landing in Spain there is an albergue in A Guarda
After 15 kms from A Guarda is the albergue of Mougas.
In Bayona 15 kms futher on is no albergue but 5 kms further in Nigrãn is one.
In Vigo is no albergue but lots of hostals, hotels etc.
In Redondela is a big albergue but I prefer the refuxio de la Jerezana in Cessantes which is 3 kms past Redondela.. It iswaymarked by plastified posters on trees and lampposts
In Pontevedra is an albergue aswell in Caldas de Reis (privat,called o Cruzeiro) and Padrón. And one in Teo between Padron and Santiago.

That is great news about the albergue de Viana do Castelo.Albertinho, this is great info....thank you! Im planning to walk from Porto at beginning of October and trying to decide whether to continue the coast from Vila do Conde or go to the central route via Rates, maybe the weather at the time will confirm my choice!!!
Do you know if the albergues on the coastal you mentioned will be open in early October....???
Also, I believe there is an albergue in Viana do Costela now..... http://cruzdoscaminhos.blogspot.co.uk/

Is there any information anywhere about Albergues on the Portuguese coastal route?
I am doing the coastal route next week but i am trying to decide if we should go along the coast to Vigo or from Caminho take the Central route to Tui. Any suggestions would be great - thxWhen are you walking and which route?
I walked in May 2014 Porto- Matosinhos- Vila do Conde- Apulia - Viana do Castelo- Caminha - Tui and on the central route to Santiago. 12 etapas.

Portstewart If you did the coastal route will you post a list of your albergues staying on the coast as far as Vigo ThanksWe are starting in Porto and wanting to follow the coast as far as possible as we completed the inland route a couple of years ago and wanted to repeat as little as possible. I have read somewhere that we would have to rejoin at Redondela but can't find any guidance up to that point.

Starting from the airport of Porto you are fairly far away from the coastI'm going to start from the airport(Porto) ... is the notion of keeping the coast on left too simplistic... if I have time it would be great to hit Santiago
Will locals acknowledge this as Camino if I needed directions...or would I get directed to other parts ... thanks
Starting from the airport of Porto you are fairly far away from the coast
I do not know if you want to walk the full coastal or go as far as Vila do Conde and there head for the central route to São Pedro de Rates, Barcelos, Casa da Fernanda ,Ponte de Lima and so on to Redondela ?
If so better is to walk from the airport to Vairão (14 kms to the albergue there) and continue from there on the central route to São Pedro de Rates and on.
Finding your way from the airport is not that difficult .look on google maps to get an impression about the routing.
You also can take the metro to Porto and start your caminho there or walk to Vilar do Pinheiro and take the metro to Vila do Conde and start your caminho pela costa ( the coastal caminho)
In Portugal generally spoken most people are more directed to the caminho de Fátima. That is their caminho and their higlight .The caminho Português para Santiago de Compostela is less common once you are away from the waymarked path so as in my proposition to go to Vairão it is better to study the routing on maps before you leave so you have an idea which direction you will head after leaving the airport. It is not difficult to find your way but asking locals around there could be a disappointment.

Yes - Tuitrans covers the Coastal routeHi thank
are there any luggage transport companies on the coastal route
Laureen
Hi thereWhich part of the Coastal you are intending to walk ?
Some people walk from Porto to Vila do Conde and then head on the central route
Some walk to Caminha and head on to Valença do Minho on the central route
Some walk on to Vigo and head on to Redondela on the central route .
There are several albergues on the various routes ,mentioned above.
