Untill now no reactions. Nobody knows this route ?My good friend and forummember Diogo92 attended me on a detour from Pontevedra to Pontecessures(Padrón) called the caminho Portuges de o Salnés.
A rather special detour. You walk in 2 days to Vilanova de Arousa and from there by boat to Pontecessures.
I am curious one or two of the million forummembers has walked and "sailed" this detour and what are the experiences.
I got some information about the trip but mainly in Spanish .no problem to read for me but I like the way we communicate on this forum ,reading the big lines and the details.
So hopefully awaiting some response
Best regards from this end of the world.

Some one asked about walking part of this last year. There was a good blog in Spanish giving specific details about it. She never came back to say if she walked. The route intrests me because there was talk of making a landmarked route which goes from Vilanova de Arosa to Padron, for me I like the thought of doing a coastal route from Porto which takes in as much as possible the coast and has historical connections.
Hi Mike sorry for late responding.Some one asked about walking part of this last year. There was a good blog in Spanish giving specific details about it. She never came back to say if she walked.

Amigo querido ! muito obrigado pelo compartir issa informaçaohttp://mountainway.tumblr.com/
Here you can find a new description about Caminho Salnés, with pictures included. Just scroll down.
You might have seen this thread already, I gave a link on it www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/torres-del-oeste-from-padron.23394 The site the link takes you to has slightly changed since I posted it, you now go to the long blue bar underneath the yellow scallop shell header and on that line is a drop down (camino de santiago-jackobsweg) which gives Ao Salnes, Bobs your uncle!
It appeals to me because If I keep walking caminos, the Caminho de Costa from Porto is one which I would like to do and this seems like a very beautiful and natural way to go after joining the central route, even if they did not waymark a land route to Padron, it probably would be easy enough to make your own route which took in a few historical places as well. Not sure about going by boat, the Quay side on the river Exe has some giant pedlo Swan type boats, maybe I will stick to them
Been looking at this thread on a mobile, but have access on a full screen computer at the moment Ive just seen the photos properly for the first time and the one with the board giving the 3rd Etapa and distances. I can feel a 12/13 day sojourn calling me.
Cheers David, I've still got the desire to keep walking after my last Camino, But I have Plantar Fasciis at the moment so I am going to keep my head down and wait for the right time. Have you walked this year, I thought you were walking from Mont St Michel?
Great information Mike. thanks for posting.Hi, just going to add this to the thread, it could be just as relevant to the coastal topics, but covers the alternative from the the main route at Pontevedra as well www.campusstellae1.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/a-30-dias-do-caminho-da-costa-as-minhas.html It gives the route as 13/14/15 days depending if you start in the center of Porto and walk or sail at the later point, all the stops are at places where there are albergue de peregrinos, when it takes the variant-camino ao salnes it gives the walking distances and the nautical miles when you have the choice of the two.
Buen Camin(h)0
Great information Mike. thanks for posting.
Just doubting where to start the Portugese whether in Povoa da Varzim and walking on to Esposende and Viana do Castelo or Starting in Valenca or Tui and walk to the coast.
We like to walk no more than 20 kms a day and I see a lot of 25 ams tracks so need some study
Anyway thanks again
Bom caminho
That should mean Viana do Castelo and on to Caminho and cross the ferry to A Guarda and on .I would start before Tui
If time is a problem a day or three before hand would be nice , especially along the coast.
That should mean Viana do Castelo and on to Caminho and cross the ferry to A Guarda and on .
We want to visit casa da Fernanda so thought to go to them from Porto by train,bus ? And from there to get or in Tui or Viana do Castelo and start walking.Anyway we want to walk the coastal to Vigo and from there to Pontevedra and the ruta de Salnés..
Thanks Thornley for the answers.
I know Viana do Castelo. We stayed in Vila Praia de Āncora last spring at a campingsite after finishing the camino Ingles and toured around by our own car as far as Braga, casa da Fernanda, Viana , Caminha and A Guarda before travelling south and eastwards to Tomar,Évora, Sevilla Cáceres and Salamanca among others.
We even showed up in Saint Jean Pied de Port to "taste" the atmosphere there for one day.
Two and a half month on the road .the longest stay away from home ever.
We were like nomads.
Now I am collecting all the information about the caminho da costa.
The best option should be that we travel from Porto to Viana. Find local transport to casa da Fernanda where we stay, than back to Viana. Than we walk from Viana to the camping in Vila Praia to stay for the night before walking on to Caminha .
The question for me is how to get from Casa da Fernanda to Valença/Tui others as walking. Bus ? Train ? We walked this track already last year but this track does not belong to the walkingplans of our next year's caminho Portuges.
From Valença the walk is south westwards to Vila Nova de Cerveira to cross the bridge over the river Minho and on to A Guarda.
So we want to walk the caminho da Costa but also want to visit Fernanda and her husband Jacinto too for one or two nights
No it is north of Barcelos, between Barcelos and Ponte de Lima.Is Casa De Fernanda south of Porto?
