Arriving on August 6 and staying in Porto first two nights. Decided to splurge and chose Moon and Sun Hotel. What are must do/see things for first two days prior to walking?
Hi Kristie, would love to know how your walk has been and any advice you may have?Hi all!
Thank you in advance for anyones 2 cents.
I get to Porto on Aug 1 at 9:45 AM and leave Santiago at 1PM Aug 20. That gives me about 18 days of trekking. I am hoping to stay in places for under 50 USD/45 Euros per night.
Does anyone have any itinerary advice or an itinerary they would share with me?
Specific questions:
-Where to go to get the camino passport from the airport?
-Where to stay an extra day along the route
-List of places to book in my budget?
-Is it ok to not book in advance and wing it or will there be too many pilgrims in august?
-What will the weather be like?
-Advice for solo female travelers?
THANKS!

We are doing the coast route from Porto to Santiago de Compostela in June 2020. Out itinerary is 3 days in Porto, 6 days walking to Baiona, a rest day in Baiona, then 6 days walking to Santiago de Compostela.
Hello Chopinet,Hi Iago, I'm planning the Coastal Camino next June and I'd be interested to know more on this alternative route starting from Moana to Pontevedra . Does the ferry from Vigo to Moana run every day? Where is the hostel in the forest located? And what do you suggest after taking the ruta de molinos de agua to continue north to Pontevedra? I have no plan to stay in Vigo, are there any other ferry to Moana/Cangas from let's say Baiona/Oia?
Very helpful Stephen. Myself and 2 friends are planning to do the Coastal Route next May 2023 - in honor of each of our “milestone” birthdays.I've now managed to process and upload all the photos taken when I was walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino. Just zoom through them quickly - I know I took too many.
Google have managed to shuffle them in a few places, but they're 99% in chronological order.
In Part I, we walking together along the Atlantic Coast, mainly on the board-walk. This is the link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Xo8f7ZfgMAbU2macA
In Part II, I was mainly my own, visiting old haunts, with many old memories, and suffering my usual blister problems. This is the link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3kaWHnt8q3oiqEoY8
I realise this is too late for Kristie, but someone else might find them useful.
- Left click on the first picture to start seeing them all full screen.
- Click on the > on the right of the picture to move onto the next one.
- IMPORTANT: Click on the little 'i' in the circle on right-hand side for information, my comments, and often even a map at the bottom, showing location. etc.

Casa Fernanda has wifiHi Kristie,
-Like Auburnfive I say Porto is worth spending an extra day. Do one of the walking tours.
-Casa Fernanda's is lovely "no wifi - you all talk and get to know each other!" She's on the Central Route and not Coastal though. I ended up moving from Coastal to Central to stay at Fernanda's. I met some lovely people there and walked with many of them. Need reservations.
-I used booking.com and booked a day or two ahead for places that were under 45 euro/night
-it will be hot
-I met more solo women travellers this year than my last two Caminos. My advice - even if you don't want a coffee or water at a bar, pay a euro and ask to use their loo. If nature calls enroute, pack out your TP!
-one more piece of advice - wear your sunscreen and hat! Saw lots of people with burns in May!
