Any one leaving Porto on Easter Sunday?

Hello everyone,
I´m from Canada and just got my passport from the cathedral and am thinking of heading out tomorrow morning April 5 (Easter Sunday) but not sure of the direction to take. I´m a bit directionally challenged so I am looking for someone just to help me get started on the trail. Am thinking of doing the coastal route... any help would be appreciated. Buen camino!!

Hi Malcolm – this is what I completed Oct 2013 – it was very easy and rewarding

From Porto to Matosinhos by metro – cheap easy to use – then walked to Vila do Conde about 23 km – just keep the ocean to your left , it is on the boardwalk most of the way. About 3 km from Vila do Conde you must leave the coast and proceed by the roadway – just be careful of the road

Stayed in Vila do Conde for the first night in a hostel – 30 euros for 2 – also they did a wonderful dinner at a reasonable price

We booked a taxi through the hostel to Rates next morning as some reports state this is a difficult stage from Vila do Conde to Rates. Joined the central route straight north to Santiago – well waymarked all the way – a wonderful journey enjoy.
