I think you mean Porto to Santiago?? My blog has so much info and so many questions answered. I cover the Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia-Santiago loop and discuss the differences on the Many Ways on the Camino Portugues! Forward these links to your friend, tell him/her to grab a cup of tea and start reading! Indeed a compostela from Porto to Santiago is given, and a special certificate at the lighthouse in Finisterre for completing Santiago to Finisterre and Finisterre to Muxia (or Santiago to Muxia).
 
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,-
Joking aside, the wikipedia page for Portuguese Camino offers an overview of the historical highlights:

The way to Finisterre and Muxia is a pilgrimage route that pre-dates the Christian Era, so it has a long history and you see medieval bridges and churches in the towns and villages on the way.

Thanks mate. Which has more history? Coastal or inland. I plan to leave from the cathedral in porto.

Thanks again and appreciate your comments and humor mate

My suggestion is to look up the stops on each route and highlight the ones that take your interest. Then you may find that you prefer one route to the other - Or you might decide to start on one and switch to the other, as suggested in Cicerone's guide:
I expect other people will chip in with their personal experiences. But since everyone's personal preferences differ, you're better off doing your own background reading and determining which sites are must see for you.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
