Hi Everyone!
I plan on doing the Camino Portuguese (starting from Porto) in May, I'm so excited and can't wait!!! I do have a few questions and hope you guys can help me out:
I'm arriving in porto on 8 May and flying back home from Santiago the 17th of May..so that gives me 8 days to walk the camino.
- Any suggestions from where I should start? Viana Do Castelo for example?
- Also wondering if I should take the coastal route or the main route? I read that the coastal route is less crowded than the main route..Seeing it's my first camino I don't want to walk alone all the time but I'm also very found of the coast so if I could combine both that would be great..
- Will it be crowed on the camino in the month of May? Just to know if I should book some albergues/pensions/hostels in advance..?
- I read that May can be quite rainy so I will definitely prepare myself to this but what about the temperature? Should I pack a thick outdoor jacket or will a raincoat be sufficient?
- Where (online) can I buy my credential in advance?
So sorry to overwhelm you with all these questions but I hope you guys can help me out
