[QUOTE="Albertinho, post: 143536, member: 22438"] Starting from Porto direction Vila do Conde you can divide into two parts. From the Sé cathedral follow the beautiful walk along the river Douro and later at the Atlantic coastline to Matosinhos. Is about 12 kms. In Matosinhos we stayed in Hostal Central Just a few minutes from the bridge. the Matosinhos bridge over the port of Porto you walk over the bridge left to the oceanside and follow the boardwalk to Via Cha. From there the yellow arrows direct you from the coastside away through a kind of naturepark. The arrows are poorly indicated but as long as you'll keep the ocean at your left hand you are o.k. We found a campingsite just outside the nature area about 2 kms before Vila do Conde but Iam afraid they do not have bungalows for rent in july as they rented to us for one night. What you could do is take the metro from Porto to Vila do Conde Or Povoa de Varzim where is an albergue. You'll miss the coastline but arriving there you could easily walk to São Pedro de Rates to the next albergue and avoid the crowds and the expensive hotels and hostals who maybe have no vacancies during the time you will be there. What we did was taking the metro to Matosinhos and walked from there to the campingsite I wrote about After finishing in Santiago we took the bus back to Porto and stayed in hostal Central in Matosinhos for 3 nights and did the walk to Porto along the ocean and riverside .from there we flew back home. Bom caminho [/QUOTE]
