As Trecile says above, definitely, the walk down the river to the sea is BEAUTIFUL, and then up the coast to Matosinhos and all the restaurants with grilled fish in Leixoes.If you have time I highly recommend that you walk along the river from the Cathedral, then up the coast to Matosinhos.
What are your new stages?@Suz2022 , @hnguyen , @trecile , @amancio , @auburnfive and @roving_rufus
Thank you so much! Ive changed my stages according to your recommendations!
The right stages are the stages that feel right for you. Walk and let things unfold. I have never walked on the coast in summer so I don't know if you have to book everything in advance or if you have booked some places, but others can advise better about that. Be careful of the heat.Thanks to all of your kind and informative answers - both to my questions and all the other questions on this forum, I think that I’m about to be as ready I can be, before leaving for Porto on the 4th August
Any thoughts or input would be highly appreciated

Tui to Redondela can be tricky, mind you, it can be tough on a hot day, crossing Porriño and Mos involves quite a lot of tarmac. If you are short of days, you might try to do
Tui-Mos
Mos-Pontevedra
That would be more balanced than Tui-Redondela, and then Redondela-Pontevedra, in my experience.
Whatever you do, buen camino!
I'm just wondering why you are getting the bus to Rates or am I missing something. You can easily walk over from the littoral to the central at a couple of points on the second day from Vila de Conde. Its actually a nice walk.Thanks to all of your kind and informative answers - both to my questions and all the other questions on this forum, I think that I’m about to be as ready I can be, before leaving for Porto on the 4th August

We are walking the CP in October and hope to stay at Casa da Fernanda. The only way that I can find to make a reservation is by calling, but I don’t have international service. Is there a WhatsApp number or email address? Thanks!What are your new stages?
Do you have a reservation at Casa da Fernanda?
Hi. They don't appear to have a email address only phone number but in October you will be fine if you contact them on your first or second day. We walked in September last year and May this year with no problem getting accommodation anywhere. It only got busy when we entered Spain.

Thanks, I had forgotten about Skype. We used to use it often when we lived abroad. Mostly use WhatsApp now as so many people have it.Use Skype or Viber phone apps to make very low cost international calls.
Everyone except Fernanda it seems!Thanks, I had forgotten about Skype. We used to use it often when we lived abroad. Mostly use WhatsApp now as so many people have it.
P.s I tried just now but they don't appear to use WhatsApp. Hopefully all will work out for you guys. A few of us will be walking somewhere on the Camino this October but have yet to decide on a route. I walked the San Salvador in August from Leon all by my lonesome and it was mind blowing. Anyhow Buen Camino and may your Gods go with you.Thanks, I had forgotten about Skype. We used to use it often when we lived abroad. Mostly use WhatsApp now as so many people have it.
That's correct. Fernanda does not use WhatsApp, hence the suggestion to call using Skype or Viber.P.s I tried just now but they don't appear to use WhatsApp
