Coimbra to Santiago or Porto to Finisterre?

Time of past OR future Camino
July 2016
Hello,

I'm planning to walk my first Camino this July/August on the Portugues route. I have roughly three weeks to complete it but I'm planning to walk no more than 20-25km per day- I like to take things a little more slowly and spend time enjoying each place! I'm torn between staring at Coimbra and ending my journey in Santiago or starting in Porto and continuing onward to Finisterre/ Muxia. Any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
I did Coimbra to SDC May 2015. Coimbra to Porto is difficult in that you are walking on lots of cobble stone (old Roman road) and paved road. If your deciding between your two choices, in retrospect I would choose Porto to SDC to Finisterra. Spend time in Porto. Drink great Port and eat a Francegena with a fried egg on top.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.
