Thanks John,Hola - you'll get on fine. The route is great and when you are walking although there will be other pilgrims around there won't be too many!

... Also, I am booking hotels day by day and need to organize baggage transfer. Any advice would be welcome. I am travelling for another month after the Camino, so too much to carry.
You can also send your surplus/post-Camino luggage ahead to Santiago to @ivar at http://www.casaivar.com but contact him first how to best do this internationally. Buen Camino, SY[/

Thanks, Scruffy!Landing on Porto on October 10 walking out two three days later on an eccentric/eclectic combination between the Coastal and the usual route, I will be cutting inland toward Valença/Tui since I really don't like Vigo. Johnny Walker got it right (as usual) nothing to fear except perhaps the Portuguese driver, be extremely careful and noticeable walking along roads and do NOT assume that they will stop before crosswalks. It is a fun walk, nice warm welcoming people, good food, pleasant towns. <---- That's me, greybearded, Australian bush hat, and walking slowly. Hope to see you! Bom Caminho!
Gracias/ Obrigado!Bom Caminho!
Might be ready to hijack your bike! Bom Caminho!I'll be cycling from Lisbon to Santiago with my brother between 10-15 October. Really looking forward to it. It's good to hear that there'll be other pilgrims walking along the same time. We might pass you en route, Flaneur.
Bom Caminho!
Best news I 've heard yet! Thanks so much, Jill.Hello fellow flaneur! I too am starting from Porto in October but will probably be too far behind you. I haven't decided my route for the first few days (may pop over to Braga) but am planning on being in Ponte de Lima the night of October 20, as I have a hotel reservation. Planning to arrive in Santiago on October 28. If you are on Facebook, there is a women's Camino group called Camigas that has great information and inspiration. You can also find people walking at the same time as you as there is a spreadsheet with everyone's departure and route info. Bom caminho!
Welcom on the forum MayaBI'll be heading out from the 11th from Porto. My first Camino too....a mix of excited and wonder....and a bit of panic about not being as prepared as I thought (what on earth am I packing!) Hopefully see some of you out there! I'm thinking of doing the first bit on the coastal route then heading back to the Central...any thoughts/advice?
You are welcome !Thank you for the warm welcome and the advice Albertinho. That sounds like the perfect suggestion - I think I will probably follow that and turn back in at Vila do Conde towards the Central route. Will keep CAsa Fernanda in mind.
Btw, can someone point me in the direction of the best updated list online somewhere of all the villages/stops, distances between them and corresponding Albergues. I think at a minimum that would be really useful to have!!! Thanks
