HolaHi everyone,
I'm planning to go from Porto to Santiago de Compostella starting on April, 4th and arrive on April, 14th.
I realize the time is very limited for this route, but I really want to go along the coast. What would be the best way to plan this? I can walk up to 30 km a day. I don't mind taking a bus to skip a segment or two which are less exciting.
Would really appreciate any advice!
If you're interested in getting a compostela (or certificate of completion) from the Pilgrims Office when you arrive in Santiago, be careful to do those bus segments before the 100 km boundary referenced by lettinggo. On the coastal route, by the way, that boundary starts in Vigo. One approach you might consider is plotting your 11 day segments backwards from Santiago and see how far south to Porto you can get before you run into potential problems.Hi everyone,

Brilliant suggestion.One approach you might consider is plotting your segments backwards from Santiago and see how far south to Porto you can get before you run into potential problems.
Applying for a Compostela certificate you have to show that you walked , at least from Tui on the Central route of from Vigo on the Coastal route and gathered two stamps a day at your credential , to show once you come to the Pilgrims Office in Santiago .If you're interested in getting a compostela (or certificate of completion) from the Pilgrims Office when you arrive in Santiago, be careful to do those bus segments before the 100 km boundary referenced by lettinggo.

HolaPorto to Santiago de Compostela is very doable in 10-days. I did it a few years ago and I am as old as the hills! However, we followed the coast road out of Porto and then headed inland. It was an absolutely beautiful path too by the way. Buen Camino
Hello. I am leaving in a few days to Porto to do the Camino de la Costa. I have read that many pilgrims enjoyed going inland. Where did you leave the coastal and what route did you take. Is it in Gronze? Where can I find more information? I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks you.Porto to Santiago de Compostela is very doable in 10-days.

Hola, I am trying to find the same information. I read it is at Caminha... Please let me know what you find. ThanksHola
im planning a similar route in May. Where did u go inland? Villa do Conde seems to be the popular choice.
TIA
I left the Coastal in Vila do Conde. Just after crossing the bridge into Vila do Conde I turned right and walked east along the north shore of the river. Signage appeared quickly and I followed the signs to Arcos. I wasn't using Gronze.Hello. I am leaving in a few days to Porto to do the Camino de la Costa.

Than you so much for answering my questions.I left the Coastal in Vila do Conde. Just after crossing the bridge into Vila do Conde I turned right and walked east along the north shore of the river. Signage appeared quickly and I followed the signs to Arcos. I wasn't using Gronze.
Exactly - Villa do Conde. Can’t comment on other options though. It was so lovely walking along the boardwalks out of Porto. Really enjoyed this short Camino and I hope you do tooHola

Hello
Does anyone know of a luggage service from Porto to Santiago? I am planning to do the Camino from Porto to Santiago and then I will be travelling around so I want to send my backpack to Santiago directly so I can do the Camino with just a small backpack. Does anyone have a reliable service and that they will keep your backpack for 10 days or so?
