Hi, my partner and I are looking to walk from Porto to Santiago in May. We are wanting to know about how much road walking there is against pathways. Also is it mostly flat with only a few hills?
Thanks in advance.
Tui to SdC isn't too bad for roads. I imagine if you have time and energy you might often find alternative routes to the marked route, if you're prepared to do the researcha and obviously you run the risk of lots of extra walking where it there isn't a viable alternative. The road walking and particularly the busy/dangerous/frightening sections are the exception. My overall memories are of wonderful walking. Having said that I actually enjoy some of the urban, industrial, edge-land experiences. Bon CaminoThanks Diogo,..Is it possible to walk Lisbon...Santiago without walking on tarmac /made roads? just that I hate walking with traffic etc (who doesnt !)..but,if I have to walk with traffic ,so be it!................Vicrev
