That’s a long afternoon walk if you don’t start from Padrón until after lunch! If you get an early boat it might be worth getting some kms under your belt before lunch.Day 15 Santiago de Compostela 55 km (28 km by boat, 27 km walking) Hostal Nomade Santiago
Lunch in Padrón
Thanks, Ill keep this in mind! I was planning on getting the early boat. I read somewhere it leaves around 7am?Bom caminho! I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful experience with your mom.

I ate here once and enjoyed it. It’s a rural restaurant a couple of hours after Padrón, just off the camino.

Good for you! I don’t understand where you are staying between Padrón and Santiago.Hi fellow pilgrims! I have walked 1450km over several years on the Camino Frances alone, without planning much.
This year is going to be very different! I have convinced my mom to come with me. I am so excited to show her what the camino is all about. But to be able to convince her I had to book private rooms.
We will be walking the Litoral, Coastal, Central and Spiritual route.
So I have just finished prebooking the whole way!
I thought I would share my planning in case you would find it interesting.

Hi BRSmith! It definitely gives peace of mind. And its a lot of fun planning!Good for you! I don’t understand where you are staying between Padrón and Santiago.
We are doing similar - flying into Porto then train to Vigo where we are starting. Our limitations were to keep daily walking to 10-15 km; shorter day after a long or difficult day. Vigo- Redondela - Pontesampio, Pontevedra - Combarro - Armenteria, PonteArnelas - Vilanova de Arousa - boat - Padrón - Pincarna - Millidorio - Santiago. We are 67 and 77 women and this is our first Camino. This gives our families peace of mind to know our route and accommodations are booked. I hope you and your mom have a magical time

The Wise Pilgrim app has a link to book the boat out of Vilanova de Arousa. Easy peasy! Also - we have been told that the entire Camino from Padrón to Santiago is uphill. Not steep but a constant climb. I noticed you broke the spiritual section into separate stages like we did. Hope that works out for youIt depends on the time of year / tides.
This made me laugh when I read it! I am a mother (62) who has done a few different Caminos and my daughter (42) has agreed to walk from Porto with me this fall…but only if we stay in places where we can have private rooms. I tried to explain the magic of communal meals and getting to know other pilgrims better when you share an albergue - and she finally agreed to let me find a few great albergueswith communal meals…but only a few. We will be following your route for the most part so I’m interested to hear about your adventures and lodging as you make your trip!This year is going to be very different! I have convinced my mom to come with me. I am so excited to show her what the camino is all about. But to be able to convince her I had to book private rooms.
Looks like a wonderful journey! I look forward to hearing your thought afterward! Safe travels!Hi fellow pilgrims! I have walked 1450km over several years on the Camino Frances alone, without planning much.

Hi Jen - how exciting for you! When do you arrive in Porto? Can we figure out meeting for coffee or a meal? We will be in Porto Apr 25-28.I can relate to the surgeries but good for you (and me) and others - for doing it. And walking in a way that works for us. This time around I am doing a slow Camino Portuguese. When I walked the Frances in the fall the downhills and over 20km per day were hard on my knee on my hip replacement side. I found some days I did not want to linger in a church or spiritual place. I finished but it took about six months of physio to help get back to walking longer days. So am doing about 16 or so Km per day - will see how it goes! In case it helps others here is my slow stages are looking like: ( I also share in case folks have some must sees they might recommend or if you see an error!).
