I plan to walk the Camino Portuguese mid September. I would like to walk the first five days or so along the coast and wondered how and when I can conect to the inland camino?
 
A guide to speaking Spanish on the Camino - enrich your pilgrim experience.
One option might be to follow the Río Miño along the Portuguese side from Caminha to Valença / Tui. It's a nice walk and there are footpaths alongside the river for much of it.

Of course, in six days (depending on your walking speed) you could reach Redondela anyway, which is where the Coastal merges with the Central.

Of course not! We are not limited to these few.

Walking the connection route near the Minho is precisely what the threadopener asked for. Walking the asfalted cycling route along the Minho is a bit easier, the marked camino has more cobblestone roads and more (little) hills. The youth hostel in Vila Nova de Cerveira is good value for money.

Viana de Castelo to Ponte de Lima is another option (I don't know if it is marked).

It's an ongoing process. If they get knowlegde about a new trail, one other has already been altered and others start marking new routes which can be found only in a regional newspaper and by people who pass by and starts asking "what are these yellow arrows for?".
Hopefully one day you can say it shows all ways that had been in place e.g. 2018 exactly how they had been in that year.

I shouldn't have used "all" indeed. But it looks like it gives an impression of most of them
