We walked from Matoshinos to Vila do Conde but then went inland and met up with others, that was in October 2011, I think the routes are much busier now. On a completely different track I also did most of the Portuguese route from Zamora to Verin but that is another story and I was completely alone.Sulu, which Portuguese route did you walk?
My sister and I are right now in Ponte de lima. We started in Porto, walked with our lefts to the atlantic ocean which was beautiful and cooling. Stayed at Albergue S.Tiago schoolhouse(bety, the host, was terrific) a very nice place to rest. CLEAN. had a delicious dinner down at the water, cafe novo rumo.When we got to Vila do condo we took a bus to Arcos and started the Camino again from there. So far, its been grand.Hello my fellow pilgrims,
Hopefully you'll be able to give me some advice on my upcoming Camino from Porto to Santiago.
Last year I walked from SJPdP to Santiago and Fisterre. An absolutely amazing and warming experience. One of the things I loved most were the magical albergues and donativos I got to stay in. Communal dinners, pilgrims blessings, singing songs, sharing experiences, beautiful people and so much Camino love.
My question is, along which route of the Camino Portugues am I most likely to find those warm Camino experiences? And do you maybe have recommendations on where to stay? I would really like to walk the beautiful coastal route but am afraid that this newer and quieter route offers less of what I described above. Although I know that whichever path I choose will offer what I need, I still have a hard time deciding.
Can any of you share your experiences? Thank you so much for helping me out
Buen Camino!
I just returned, went from Porto up the coast to Vila do Conde, then cut over to central route. I deliberately stayed at Pedra Furada and Lugar do Corgo (Casa Fernanda), which were off-stage. Casa Fernanda was the only place that I stayed in with the kind of experience that I think you are looking for, so you will want to stay there, for sure. Otherwise, you will have to make your own experience! It is a really beautiful path, just doesn't have the same infrastructure as the Frances. Most of the people I saw along the way were in pairs/groups, and many of them spoke no English. I can't speak to the coastal route so much, since I haven't walked it, but from what I've heard, it is more touristy, so you are less likely to find those pilgrim-type experiences there.Hello my fellow pilgrims,

Somebody might have already said this, but you might be surprised as you venture out that your warmth (that we all understand and love) might be sourced from a different experience on the different paths. I have learned warmth can be found with one pilgrim saying, "I'm making you all dinner tonight, we must find a place where we can make a dinner" , and that "you all" was for me and my five children. Go where your heart leads you...there will be warmth...Hello my fellow pilgrims,

I'm thinking about going to Coimbra this weekend and resuming the Camino on Monday, but the future absence of pilgrims remains a concern.
