I imagine it is improved somewhat from your earliest Camino...Seems the Xunta has spent a bit of money covering the joint cycle/pedestrian sections from A Guarda to Baiona.
Some will recognise the location - breakfast with a spectacular sea view.
One the plus side makes it easier to find the route in the morning as sunrise is 8:30 at the moment.
I'm two weeks behind you! Flying to LIS one week from today to start the coastal route from Porto on the 17th. Keep posting please!Can’t quite reconcile the message in the first pic with the scene in the second. Glad I had to wait until October to do this as any earlier would have been too hot.
Lots more pilgrims now. Lots more accommodation. And lots more new shiny Camino signs. They’ve been busy while we’ve been away.
I'm planning to walk out of Porto on the riverside, as that was recommeded as being quite beautiful. Are the boardwalks completely impractable? and what are the alternatives? any deviations?Another suggestion for those who are about to travel on the Coastal.
A common suggestion is to avoid the route out of the Porto suburbs by taking the metro to Matosinos (6 miles from Porto). Given the amount the boardwalks that are being repaired and how quiet that section is over Autumn and Winter, you can actually get to Póvoa de Varzim (24 miles north of Porto) by Metro which gets your further into the countryside.
thank you for this. is the senda del agua easy to find? and did you follow the litoral or coastal into vigo?There appeared to be two routes out of Vigo. There is the official route marked on Open Street Maps but the forested mountain trail was marked Senda del Agua
First two pics (194,198) are coming into Baiona before Vigo. The next two (209,214) are from the Senda on your way to Redondela. Taken last week. You can see the oyster beds set out in the estuary.
