HI All,

The scenery is great, this walk is great. If you enjoyed the Frances, you will surely love this camino as well. No question about it. It is not as (over)crowded as the Frances, which for some is a good thing and for some bad. I say its a perfect "short" walk with more then enough fellow pilgrim around to enjoy the social aspect of it all.

It's really a mini Frances, only with much much much much much better food (in the portuguees part)

I will be walking part of the Camino portuges in April 2015. I am unclear how well marked the route is north of Tui. Any recent information would be appreciated. Thanks.

The route is well marked. Please take a look at my blog to get an idea about scenery and accommodation. It includes many photos and covers my camino Portuguese from Lisbon in May 2014 http://www.magwood.me

In addition to Magwood's answer-watch her great blog I should advise you-you could buy the 2015 edition of John Brierley's guide ,caminoPortuges.

Bom caminho
