Interior or Coast

Time of past OR future Camino
2021
I have walked the France's in 2012 and Norte in 2014. Planning on Porto to Sdc and Finesterra first part of October. I am most interested in buildings, Roman bridges, etc and it looks like the interior is more what I would like. If you have done maybe both routes would you please advise? Thanks much!

I haven't done both, only the interior, but the Camino follows the old Roman road for quite a way. There are a number of Roman artifacts, ruins, etc, including an original milestone, set in Trajan's reign, if memory serves. It is a very pleasant way.
 
I know this is confusing, but just to help you keep things straight, the Caminho Portugues Interior is a route that goes from Viseu to Chaves to Verín in Spain where it ultimately joins up with the Sanabrés. I think you are probably comparing the coastal route with the traditional route and not talking about the Caminho Interior. So I have moved your thread to the "standard" caminho portugues. If I'm wrong about that, let me know and I'll move it back to the Interior. Bom caminho, Laurie
