Planning to walk Camino Frances
Hi all!

I just finished the Camino Francés and now want to walk the Portuguese Coastal route! Only I will do it backwards....so from Santiago down to Porto.

Can anyone give me info on the suggested stops so I can work out a route? I have read that it is nice to mix it with the espiritual variation which I would love to do.

Any help, suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks so much!!!
 
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.

Combarro Is a great place to stay an extra day before getting back to the "main drag"

Thanks! Was it a nice route? Any parts you would skip? I also want to walk the Norte so happy to skip bits if not so nice

I have also done the Norte the first 10 days r challenging and I did it in late August so it was hot and pretty crowded. As for skipping parts of the costal, the only city I didn't like was viana do Castelo. The bridge crossing is dangerous and we had a very bad experience in the albergue there.

Thanks Boski! Did you do the Norte in reverse? That’s what I’ll be doing. Wondering how challenging that will be

No I did the Norte the "normal" way but honestly backwards might b better bc u would b in hiking shape for the hard parts

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
