This really brings back memories - Thanks! For anyone planning on doing the Portuguese, this is a great route. Also, if you have the time, the Rota Vicentina is well worth checking out - Truly stunning vistas. We started in Sagres on the Rota before hooking up with the Portuguese on our way to Santiago. Highly recommended!Olá , found a video about the Coastal Way from Porto to Angeiras:
Have a look and enjoy
The clip gives a good overview of the route and what to expect. I am planning to do this route next March. For those who have done it previously, and pardon my ignorance, is this coastal route 'more or less' like this for almost the entire journey? Having done CF this year, where one sees largely greenery, mountains, etc, this route seems to be very near to civilization with so many infrastirure and buildings alongside. Am just wondering if the entire trail is going to be largely like this?
The video only shows a distance of about 25 kms max. out of the urban area of a big city,Porto..Thanks, Ray. So that means the CP is largely an urban trek and walking on asphalt. I was thinking there would be some greenery like the CF.
otherwise, do you know anything about the weather in March ? I supposed it wouldn't be much an issue to trek along the coastline and asphalt ?

Wow thanks for sharing! An American I met on the Camino Frances this year is thinking of joining me for the Camino Portugese coastal route in 2017 - can you please provide the link for this video so I can share it with her?
Once you get to Angeiras it becomes less urban, and as I mentioned the boardwalk to Vila do Conde is very nice. That part on the N309 was the worst we encountered on this section of the CP (the N247 we were on earlier was almost as bad), but once you're past that things get better. But, yes, you will encounter much more asphalt on the CP than on the CF. The CP has its own look and feel, not like the CF but just different, and we really enjoyed it for those differences.
Thankyou RainerberndOlá Katie, just click on YouTube down right and you can get the link on YouTube.
Thanks, Ray for the additional info and thorough info. It certainly helps in my planning and making a decision which route to take
I watched the video and thought it stunning. I'm hiking the Senda de Litoral starting May 23 leaving Porto...getting very excited.Olá , found a video about the Coastal Way from Porto to Angeiras:

Olá Rina
if your first stay after Porto will be at the campsite Angeiras, I´m very pleased to welcome you there. Every year I stay there in Mai/June for hospitaleiro.
Bom caminho
Rainer
