Yes, the VE has become quite popular in the last few years (and deservedly so!).1) I was hoping to do the spiritual variant, Will there be enough people on this trail, just for a psychologically safe feeling?
In Vigo there is a recently opened albergue that is very well located in the historic area of Vigo.Where can I stay in Vigo on the 22nd before I start my journey?
I am now in the Camino, starting from Vigo staying at the albergue Albergue público de peregrinos de Vigo Juan Manuel López-Chaves at Rúa da Ribeira do Berbés, 5, 36202 Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain
I did, even joined a local dancing party. Life is good in Galicia.You’re a bit out of the way there but if you follow the road along the coast for about a mile you’ll see the main port, shopping area and centre. Lots of restaurants too.
One thing I could not get used to was the restaurants opening at 8:00 pm or later - then getting up early to move on.
Will take some planning or you’ll have to cook for yourself. I have family from the Vigo area and they can’t get used to our early ways.
Check out Windy Maps. If you enlarge the city area of Vigo, you’ll see exactly the route (the blue line) out of the city heading to Redondela.Does anyone know where exactly to join the Camino at Vigo?

Lovely to read your thread, and to see that so far, so good. May each step bring you nearer to Santiago, and to whatever awaits you there!Thank you! I started from Vigo last Sunday and reached Santiago yesterday. It was an exhilarating experience!
I will be taking a bus from Baiona to vigo. I will not stay in Vigo but will pass through. Is it easy path to start my Camino in the iglesia de Santiago?The place is located accurately in Google maps, needs and bathrooms are clean and new. I look forward to sleeping tight. That take 8 euros in cash.
The exit door is on the 3rd floor.
The Iglesia de Santiago is 7 mins away and has a mass at 7.30 pm after which you can get your stamp.
Thank youI would say Yes. Starting at the Iglesia de Santiago , the path is clearly marked. You won't need your phone or any maps and soon enough you'll meet people on the way, doing just local biking or hikes. The road is tarred, but pretty scenic, you'll see the port of Vigo for a while and the ria for most of the day.
We are doing this route in April. From Vigo to Santiago, we have it planned out at 6 days. Some days are a bit longer then others at 25 km, but then we also have some shorter days in there. Depending on where you decide to stop along this route, it seems that 5 days is also very doable. Having walked the Central Route before, we’re looking forward to walking the Coastal Route up to Vigo and then taking the VE after Pontevedra.I plan to make the CP on late June but my wish would be to make my wife and kid (10 yo) join at Vigo to complete the final stages. How many days from Vigo did it took to you to get to Santiago following the Variante Espiritual? On Gronze it looks like 5 days are needed, both with or without the VE, average 20 km, which I think are fine for my son but I ignore if the VE is much more demanding compared to the classic route.
