Hello

My husband and I are currently in Santiago having just walked up from Porto.

We are considering walking back to Porto from Vigo following the coastal path going backwards.

Has anyone done a walk backwards before? Any thoughts on doing this section backwards. How hard would it be to follow?

Thank you

Did you end up going backwards on the coastal route? My husband and I might be doing this in a few weeks.
 
Yes I've done it but it's really difficult if you try to follow the yellow arrows so don't ! Best to use common sense and keep following the coast south. You also should use Luis Freixo's maps and you won't get lost see www.caminado.es
