Hi,
I'm gonna follow the coastal path from Porto on and I want to connect with the central path. I would like to know which way you found most beautiful/interesting: connecting from Fao/Esposende to Barcelos (Bentos path), or coninuing to Viana do Castelo and from there to Ponte de Lima?
Thanks!
Eduardo

You can also continue the coastal until Caminha. And from there go right towards Vila nova de Cerveira and Valença. We just did last week and loved it. Now only 2 days until Santiago

Yes I did that route and on across the bridge to Tui.Really enjoyed it.
 
Viana!!! There’s a view from the hostel at the top of a huge hill that’s on National Geographic’s top 10 views. It’s beautiful!!!
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I will admit not walking either of those, having crossed over earlier to Arcos. But an advantage of crossing to Barcelos rather than Ponte de Lima is that you get the opportunity to stay at Casa da Fernanda.
