Theatregal, where did you start in Portugal, how many stages and kilometres. We are interested in this route and just wondered if you give us some details. Thanks MayaI just walked the coastal route and used this guide. Thank you @grayland for providing info about it earlier. The girl you walked with was probably referring to the bookstore "Lello" in Porto. I found it in the tourist office for 10 euros.

The guide covers the Braga Way, Coast Way and Central Way. I walked the Coast Way as far as Vigo and then to Redondela. I was happy to have this guide and found it to be helpful for accomodation info and general info about each place along the way. However, it is a bit vague and in some cases misleading in terms of distances and route description. The maps are very sparse and do not provide great detail. I do think it's worth having as a supplement to any other route or map information you could also gather. Still trying to figure out what the hole through the book is for. Maybe to tie it to your belt?
Thank you. I bookmarked the stages.Hi @Mycamino Maya ,
I started in Porto. I had a wonderful lingering camino - taking longer than usual on this route. I gave myself time to stop in places that interested me and that I wanted to explore.

Hello there. I want to do the same route as you did. According to your stages which I can see you have few stages are very short and sometimes you were staying in a hostel or pension or even hotel. I want to know what is the reason made you walking too short or staying in a hostel or hotel? I hope is not because of you could not find a Albergue or very bad conditions of the routes.
The ferry from Caminha to A Guarda is public services or private? It is regularly or random? Thank you very much!
Just wanted to add that a trip to the bookstore is well worth it whether you want to buy this guide or not.

HI @Theatregal ! Thanks a lot! Actrually I can do this in 8 days but why would I do that? This is the first thought in my mind when I decided to do this route. It suppose be relax and casual and random and fun!!Hi Jun Meng,
This is a beautiful camino. I gave myself lots of time on this walk because I wanted the option to stop in places that interested me and that I wanted to explore a bit more. That's the reason for some shorter stages. The accommodation is varied on this route. Some places didn't have albergues but I could always find reasonably priced alternatives. The conditions on the route were great - lovely weather during the time I walked with only a day or two of rain.
The ferry is a public service and at the time I walked, there were several sailings during the day. You could check this site for updates and sailing times:

Bom Caminho!

Ahhhh...you are so kind. Thank you so much for the further informations. Since this is my the third Camino I am not anxious or scared anymore. I have enough days and will survive anyway...hopefully!!! BTW...do you think I can leave my sticks in home? They are very useful when I walking the Via de la plata this year. But on this route seems not necessarily needed. What do you think??I might add that weather can affect the ferry schedule.
Fog shut down the sailings for a day when I was there.
We shared a taxi that took us miles to the east and across a bridge then back along the other side to the point where the ferry would have landed.
We were told that weather stops are not uncommon.
There was some talk of local boaters would take people across for a fee...but we saw no sign of this.
Yes you are right...my humble apologies. I edited the post .Hi, you need to read my post again. I was talking about the new guide book (as per the original post), not Brierley. And, as I mentioned in my post, I have been to Livraria Lello before, actually twice before. Jill
hmmm yes you could need them. Between Redondela and Pontevedra are some nasty steep descending and some ascending hillsAhhhh...you are so kind. Thank you so much for the further informations.

OK. I made my decision to bring them with me. Thanks for the tips. Rose and hug.....hmmm yes you could need them. Between Redondela and Pontevedra are some nasty steep descending and some ascending hills
You allways can ask for Mario o Pescador if the ferry is not sailing due to the low tide.Hi Jun Meng,
