Hi David , you are giving yourself a few rest days. Buen camino !

David we walked part of this route Tui to Pontevedra in June 2018 and it was quite warm. Plenty of water, good hat and get on the trail early in the morning. Pontevedra is nice for a rest day. Do not miss Arcade (the bridge), the church in Padron and the Hot Springs in Caldas De Reis. We visited Valenca also, and the bridge between Valenca and Tui is fab.

I have done the coastal and the interior and they are equal in many respects. Casa Fernanda is a real treat and Ponte do Lima is lovely, versus walking along the beach and a day in Viana do Castelo. It is a real toss up.

I'm walking this in 2 weeks time. I'm getting myself ready for rain and wind and VERY light pack. Seems pretty straightforward out of Porto. I hope to have the camino take care (rather than guidebooks) of me as it has done for millions of pilgrims over the centuries. Helps to have information, but I relish the unexpected adventures and fellow pilgrims.

We are walking the coastal route in early April 2022. How is the weather During that period?
