- Planning the Camino Portugues in 2018
Hi! I am from NZ now living in the UK. My friend and I are leaving to start our first el camino in early June. We have decided to do the Camino Portugues. As much as we would like to start in Lisbon, neither of us can take so much time off work. We will be starting from Valenca on 9th June following the path that passes through Porrino, Redondela, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis, Padron. So looking forward to it! 
If anyone could tell me about the train from Porto Campanha station to Valenca. I wondered if it's possible to buy tickets at the station? The Rome2Rio website lists that there are 4 departures and each alternate one is direct; that advance booking is necessary. Has anyone done this? My next question is whether I should take a rain jacket? bearing in mind it's early June. We have booked our first nights accom in Valenca and intend to book/call ahead, the rest if possible, en route. Are there any stops along the way that accom may be heavily subscribed? just so we're forewarned. Thank you for any tips and advice you can offer.
