Forgot that jeee! Late here.What are the distances of the stages?
Let me check where is located again. i was planning to stop before Labruge. Is Labruge better?I would suggest that you walk along the river then the coast up to Vila do Conde before going inland.
1st stage Porto - Labruge 19.07 km
2nd stage - Labruge - Rates 25.71 km
Oh, you are correct. I didn't realize that Angeiras is on the Senda Litoral. It is just before Labruge. If you stop there you will add 2 km to your next day's walk.Let me check where is located again. i was planning to stop before Labruge. Is Labruge better?
That is for sure. So many moving parts. Between nature and us not being in control, this is just a sketch for the exploration to come.I suggest though that you have a plan, but be prepared to throw it out as you start walking.
I stayed in a guest house in Labruge that was very nice, and can be reserved on booking.comYes i thought about labruge too but heard someone here on another post saying that the albergue there was closed. And the albergue there is nice too. Shame. I hope by September it is open i could consider it instead of the camping angeiras. I am also planning sending my pack most of the longer stages or hills.
This looks really nice. It is amazing how much you know about the camino.I stayed in a guest house in Labruge that was very nice, and can be reserved on booking.com

Thats nice. Thank you. Seems like you picked good cities to stay longer. I instead will be using the extra days before and after. Algarve and Barcelona. Im very confused with the end of my stages... if after boat ride from Pontecesures go to Padron or Hebron or Even Milladouro. Not sure where would make sense to sleep. I dont need to Rush to Compostela for the noon mass as i will sleep there two nights and will have the next day to go to the mass. So I don't necessarely need to be closer to SDC the day before to walk less and get on time for mass. So i am wondering which place i should try to not miss in that area and sleep there.Hi Renaser!
I am a newbie but here is my first day doing coastal/central and Espiritual !
My first day out from Porto i am staying here (owners are said to great and helpful)
CARAVELA (it is an apartment not albergue £34 for the night) Rua Almeiriga Norte, 2764
4455-418 Perafita (booking .com)
Portugal I
It's approx 17km according to first stage map on Gronze; and right on the Camino GPX track from the Dutch fraternity of St James(i hope)!
Day two is about the same 17km to Vila do Conde(my poor feet will let me know when i walk it ha!ha!)
Here are all my stages;distances are what i got from Gronze!
Hope this helps a bit.
All the best
Woody

Yes you are right i hear a lot of people liking those cities. I think my heart want to stay in Herbon monastery but the fact that is not open or could be open, makes me undecided. Im sure as it get closer to September i will know better and while i am there also is when i will know for sure. Problem with this virus is that one can not just go with the flow as some places needs to be reserved ahead. Specially the ones that most people like. I am sure from your stages you will also enjoy your camino. Buen Camino.Regarding stays in Padron, Hebron or Milladouro;i asked members for suggestions on good places to stay specifically for the Coastal / Espiritual and on to the central.
Baiona and Padron came up for me as good stop overs!
But you have specific reasons for your stay;so just ask and someone will respond!
Best of luck
Woody
Your Spiritual Variant section looks fine. Finding a place between Padron and Santiago a little trickier because the boat ride from Vila Nova can take much of the morning. The key is how close do you want to be to Santiago for the next day -- or what time you want to arrive in the Praza do Obradoiro in front of the catherdral.11: Pontevedra- Combarro 13km
12:Combarro- Armenteira 10km
13:Armenteira- Ridabumia 9km
14:Ridabumia- Vila nova de Arousa 18km
Thank you Ken. Yes the Variante Espiritual i dont want to rush. Yes i think the boat ride will dictate my next place. So i am thinking my best bet will be sleep Padron. I go slow next day to get SDC later in the afternoon. For now im keeping in mind Padron or Herbon. Lots of more powerful things to decide before me. I can not compete with them.

When u plan to be in Padron?Just a thought when i take the boat; it was leaving at 7 am but now 8 am as captain changed departure for me as in early October on the 8th dawn isn't until 8.30 am.
I cant see in poor light let alone the dark;so boat ride in the dark would have been pointless.
If you find out the sailing time you could have almost a full day in Padron.
For me i should be there by mid morning; and spend the day exploring; cant book in to accommodation till three.
Woody
PS Just listened to your last post; already booked a night at the Monastery in Armentiera ( the sisters were kind to me as i couldn't manage at the albergue;i am as blind as a bat ha!ha!))
The 8th October that's if i stick to my itinerary;all sleeps booked already.When u plan to be in Padron?
Organized lady!!! Good for you ! With this virus the minimum is to get the free cancellation safety route. I already had my flight changed once.The 8th October that's if i stick to my itinerary;all sleeps booked already.
But i do have free cancellation on them.
I suppose if i have a big problem or injury on the trail; i won't lose a massive amount of cash!
Woody
Omg Sorry Woody about that. I have no idea why i thought you were a woman! Crazy of me! And people also think that i am a man by the name here. I guess our brains (at least mine) can read avatar names and attach something to it. I need to get better at that and check this nonsense of my brain. You made me observe this today. Thank you for making me aware.HA!HA!HA!
Yeah i am a six foot 2 inch lady; with a beard and tattoos and a very deep voice!
You were obviously able to detect my feminine side.
Take care be safe
Woody
Or you could do:For your first few days you might want to take it a little easier and walk
Porto - Matosinhos 10.42 km
Matoshinhos - Vila do Conde 23.25 km
Vila do Conde - Rates 15.81 km
Then do some longer stages later on between Pontevedra and Vila nova de Arousa .
