I'm likely heading over this summer or next summer to do so...I would imagine it's a 8-9 day hike. Try godesalco.com to see a calculator https://godesalco.com/plan/portugues that might prove helpful.Hello, I just finished The Primitivo in April. Now I am off to planning the Portuguese next May I walked the Primitivo in 12 days without rest days. Knowing that how many days do you think I should do for the Portuguese starting from Porto? Also, Can I fly into to Porto from the States or do I need to fly into Lisbon and take a bus to Porto?
Thanks

I'm watching flights too. The only ones I see under $1,000 right now aren't until mid October...wondering how rainy of a walk that would be to do the coastal...I'm likely heading over this summer or next summer to do so...I would imagine it's a 8-9 day hike.

And try Google flights. There are some flights from the US into Porto. I had a chance to have a round trip from KC to Porto (through Newark) for under $1000 at a few points a couple of months back...and blew it by not booking. They're higher now. Watch google flights like a hawk and you might be able to snag a bargain. good luck
For me this it is challenging. I’ve done day hikes but not so many in a row and with a multi day backpack. I look forward to hearing of your Camino.We were thinking of starting in Caminha, taking the Ferry to La Guardia and on to Oia.
From there stops in Baiona - Vigo - Arcade - Pontevedra - Caldas de Reis - Padron - Santiago
Our first Caminho though we have done other smaller hikes, so we thought we keep it short.
We may break it up further...shorter stretches..idea is max 15 km a dayFor me this it is challenging. I’ve done day hikes but not so many in a row and with a multi day backpack. I look forward to hearing of your Camino.
We are on day 12 of the Camino from Porto. We plan to do it in 14 days. 18km is our ideal day. Our one 25km day was rough! We found in Portugal, the trail is cobblestone, which was very grim for soles, knees and ankles.Hello, I just finished The Primitivo in April.

Hi there, did the Portuguese from Porto starting mid October 2017 and Northern Portugal and Galicia were experiencing Forest and trail fires. Never got close to the Camino route but we did see the smoke in the distance. They say never tell the Devil your plans so I'm sure now Ive said that it will be Noah rainy conditions.I'm watching flights too.

I prefer this outcome when telling my plans.Hi there, did the Portuguese from Porto starting mid October 2017 and Northern Portugal and Galicia were experiencing Forest and trail fires.

Depends which route, I suppose. Also, your level of fitness and your mental capacity. So far, on any camino, I have never taken a rest day. Before my first camino, I set a target daily maximum distance in my stubborn mind. ExperiencE is such a gentle teacher!Hello, I just finished The Primitivo in April.

I'd say 8-10 days, depending on your walking speed and whether you take the variante espiritual including the boat up the Río Ulla (highly recommended). I flew from the US to Madrid, and from there to Porto - another option to look at. Bom caminho!Hello, I just finished The Primitivo in April.
