Yes! I knew about Fatima, but wasn’t sure if there are blue arrows on the Camino da Costa as well.Check out the route to Fatima. The arrows are blue. Buen Camino
Here's a start...
Cool! Yes that’s what I want, just a nice relaxing walk. So I’m not the first one to have this idea!Many people do the route in reverse, or round trip, particularly the Portuguese. From Tui, cross the Eiffel-designed bridge to Valenca. From Valenca, there is a green trail that follows the river to Caminha, keeping river to your right, and then the trail is marked to Porto, keeping the ocean to your right. It'not the historic camino, but it is beautiful, serviced and a relaxing way to ease out of pilgrim mode. You'll meet pilgrims on their way.
The green trail is also a recreation trail.
Map.me -download the map for Portugal and it works offline - will actually show you where services are.

Hello All,
I’m not sure if this is a sin against the Camino, but I just finished my walk to Santiago and I have a little extra time, and I was thinking of walking the Portuguese costal route, but in reverse from Tui towards Porto where I have a flight.
Has anyone done this? Is it terrible hard to follow the arrows in reverse? Also, I do not have access to google maps when I am walking, but do have a guide book and offline map.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

In the "old days" people used to walk to Santiago and then back home again, so you're joining a very ancient tradition of reverse walkers. Obviously a bit less common these days, and be prepared for every pilgrim you pass in the opposite direction to say, "you're going the wrong way!" or "Santiago's THAT way!" (well that's been my experience while reverse-walking... but might be different in Portugal due to Fatima).

Yellow arrows easy to read either direction but official Camino signs only point towards those going north. Guidebook and maps will be helpful. Good luck and bom camino !Hello All,

It is different on the way to/from Fatima! I'd have had some lonely days between Porto and Lisbon, if I haven't seen others walking to Fatima. In that area you still stop for a chat, while north of Porto the communication on the trail slows down, because the numbers grow. If someone is searching for directions and the blue or yellow arrows are somehow hidden you usually greet and point in the right direction (both know how they get to the place so is works). It's only misleading for whose who really lost the way, but these usually ask for confirmation.and be prepared for every pilgrim you pass in the opposite direction to say, "you're going the wrong way!" or "Santiago's THAT way!" ...

E vulgar, muitos peregrinos fazem o caminho em sentido contrario, quer em direcçao so Porto quer para sul. O Caminho inverso está marcado com setas azuis. Sem problemasCool! Yes that’s what I want, just a nice relaxing walk. So I’m not the first one to have this idea!
