Hi musicman, can I email you also for spreadsheet? I am planning CP April from LisbonFirst, this is a great Camino; I walked it solo and loved it.
Take the Metro to Matasinhos Mercardo and walk over the bridge to the seafront.
It is pretty well signposted . Take care approaching and leaving Vigo - a great city, en route.
I don't like Albergues/ hostels, usually stayed in inexpensive two star places.

Us too please! We're walking from Lisbon starting on about 5th April. We expect/hope to get to Porto on about the 25th April. We're not planning to stay in Porto other than overnight as we've spent time they several times; wonderful city and we would recommend others to downs some time there and explore.Hi musicman, can I email you also for spreadsheet? I am planning CP April from Lisbon
Thanks
Janice
Thanks a bunch, very helpful! CheersI agree with musician. You can also walk from Porto Cathedral and follow the River Douro until it reaches the coast or yes take the Metro, I suppose it depends on any time constraints etc. I always use Luis Freixo's maps of shoreline route see http://www.caminador.es/?page_id=117. If you have a Smartphone you can download them in PDF format to"My Files" then open them offline. The trickiest part is after crossing Ramallsoa bridge after Baiona. You can follow the yellow arrows all the way to Vigo and beyond but this goes inland abit. You can also turn left and follow the coast more closely into Vigo but it's not that well signed. But if you use Luis's maps you will be fine....

I'm planning on doing as much as possible along the Portuguese Coast line up to Santiago, but from what I'm reading it sounds like many options are there but none are all the way following the coast.... Can someone give me some guidance please on where to start in Porto and follow as much as possible the coast? And if you have done that route, your experience and advise would be much appreciated...

I agree. It is one of the nicest day's walk on the entire Portuguese Camino! JillJust walked 8 miles from Porto to Matosinhos along the coast. It is absolutely beautiful and I can't see why anyone would avoid it and get the metro!
I agree with you but on the other hand for many the distance from Porto to Vila do Conde, about 30 kms ,is too long on one day and the Porto centro to Matosinhos too short .Just walked 8 miles from Porto to Matosinhos along the coast. It is absolutely beautiful and I can't see why anyone would avoid it and get the metro!
Hi Chantal, I done the Porto route last June 2015. I traveled from Porto , taking a tram out as far as Matosnhos, a suburb of Porto, right next to the coast. I only traveled up as far as Villa do Conde then cut inland to Barcelos. I know there is a coastal route that brings you up as far as Valenca, on the border with Spain. After Villa do Conde, you travel along the coast to Viana do Castelo and from there to Valenca via Villa Nova de Cerveira. The John Brierley Camino Portugues book has a good map of the coastal route to Valenca, along with some info on the alternative coastal route. It's worth checking out, the one day I spent up to Villa do Conde was well worth the effort, it's a less traveled route, with a mixture of warm and often cold windy coastal weather, so bring the appropriate clothing! PatrickHello all,

Thats true, the tourist office in Vila do Conde are very helpful with this type of information, it's near the center of town. JB's book is more inspirational and can be a bit short on specific information. Good luck, PatrickI have a question regarding coastal route. I plan to walk central route from Lisbon, and would like to walk part of coastal when I reach Porto. Via Matoshinhos I will walk to Vial do Conde, then rejoin central Camino at Rates. I have the JB guide, but their is no mention of trail from Vila do Conde to Rates, although on the large cover map there is a trail. Can I assume that the way to Rates is waymarked, and will I be walking of busy roads?
I think JB guide (2016, 7th edition) is a little disappointing. There is the alternate coastal route, but it is very abbreviated, and only list's tourist offices and handful of accommodations along the way. No detailed town to town commentary as in the rest of book. No reference to Variante Espiritual .

the original coastal route starts is Porto to Vila do Conde or Póvoa de Varzim, then to Esposende, Vila do Conde, Vila Praia de Âncora to Caminha.Hi Chantal, I done the Porto route last June 2015.

Last year we walked the coastal route from Porto to Valença. The newish boardwalks and bike trails along the coast are a delight. Most people head inland after the first day, leaving the rest of us ample room on the coast. We stayed in small hotels for about 40 euros and ate some amazing meals. Highly recommended!I know there is a coastal route that brings you up as far as Valenca, on the border with Spain.

Last year I walked the Coastal route from Oporto, this means different routes to people. The pilgrims we saw walking from Matosinhos to Vila do Conde turned inland and joined the traditional route. We continued along the coast and were happy we choose that option, our 2nd stop was Esposende, there are numerous small accomodations and albergues, next Viana do Castelo where we treated ourselves to the Pousada, Caminha was next at the mouth of the river. For the final Portuguese stretch we walked a "non-Camino" marked route on a brand new bike/walking path along the river to Valença. No matter what you do the Portuguese part of the Camino is wonderful! Enjoy
I agree with musician. You can also walk from Porto Cathedral and follow the River Douro until it reaches the coast or yes take the Metro, I suppose it depends on any time constraints etc. I always use Luis Freixo's maps of shoreline route see http://www.caminador.es/?page_id=117.

If you can arrange your days to suit the market days in coastal villages Chantal you will collect some serious leather [ proper leather] bags.
The food is the other plus.......and thats where you stop for the day.
Enjoy, beautiful kind people who assist with minimum fuss.
It is easyI'm finding Luis Freixo's maps really hard to understand - I'm new to this and it's fantastic detail, but almost too much as I am getting lost trying to figure out what all the different colour coding means, and can't keep it all straight. Any advice on how to decipher?

Hi, Diane55, could you please tell more about the "non-Camino" route (bike/walking path) along the river to Valenca? Is it nice? I read a comment that the Valenca stretch is mostly along the big roads which I hate, so your suggestion raises hope. We will start the Coastal route from Porto on 30 August and haven't decided yet whether to take the Caminha-Valenca direction or to continue on the Vigo stretch.Last year I walked the Coastal route from Oporto, this means different routes to people. The pilgrims we saw walking from Matosinhos to Vila do Conde turned inland and joined the traditional route.

Hello Chantal, did you do the coastal route? If so, how did it go and did you do it alone?

This is exactly the route/stops I was looking for. Thank you so much to you both for posting. I am late to this thread. Most of you have probably completed this camino route by now. I'd appreciate feedback as a female travelling alone, wanting to stay by the coast as much as possible. Has the route got a bit busier? Will I meet other pilgrims? And is it easy to find my way? I've done Sarria to Santiago in 2016 but thats so well sign posted & has lots of facilities. I will have accommodation booked in advance.

Hi there, I did the coastal Portuguese last Sept by myself and found it a great route. Quieter than the Frances for sure but still company along the way. People I spoke to suggested it is becoming more and more popular each year. I did Porto up the coast to Caminha and got the ferry over to A Guarda stayed in Oia, which is just lovely, and Baiona then Vigo inland to join the inland route at Redondela.This is exactly the route/stops I was looking for.

Thanks for that advice Laineylainey. Its great to hear. Im similar to you, having done some of Camino Frances last year. This year, time restrictions mean I will probably be only able to join in around Baiona (do 100+ km approx) I was thinking Baiona - Vigo - Redondela - Pontevedra - Ruas - Caldas de Reis - Padron - Teo - Santiago de C. That seems to be your route too? So just to clarify, the only coastal area I will get is Baiona, Vigo, then it goes inland? I know I will need to research this a bit more, I just needed to confirm this is the route I want first - although I think you've helped me decide!

The advice I got from the forum last year as far as directions was " have the sea to your left and you will be on the right path" The signage is good so you will be fine. I just loved it and for me it was a great second Camino after the Frances, less busy and different!
Good luck!
Hi laineylainey , I'd love that list of accommodation if you don't mind? deniseboland@yahoo.co.uk Im going to order the John Brierleys book tonight. I have temporarily booked some accommodation but yes I must have a look at Torre de Rio! Lovely to get little tips like this. Thanks again for your helpHi Dee_Ireland. From Vigo goes inland a bit and also gets a bit busier from Redondela as it joins one of the inland routes. I think I definitely took the wrong road leaving Vigo and I ended up waking an urban route most of the way to Redondela! There is still a bit of coast from Redondela to Pontevedra ( beach at Arcade) Your proposed route is the same as mine. Recommend John Brierley's book for the route from Redondela, if you want a good guide. You should have plenty of company on your route and I can honestly say I never once felt unsafe -apart from when walking along roads!! You mention that you will book accommodation, if you want to email me I will send you the names of the places I stayed. If you really want to and can spoil yourself for a night, in Caldas de Rei I recommend highly Torre de Rio - just heavenly!
