- Time of past OR future Camino
- Will be doing Portuguese Central Way starting Oct 19, 2018
Hello,
First this forum has been extremely helpful in my planning on getting Porto to Quinta Sao Miguel de Arcos.
My first stop is in Arco from Porto on Oct 18. I land in Porto Oct 17 late afternoon and will try to get all my stuff done (passport, SIM card) that evening but will need to do some stuff Oct 18 morning in Porto and may not leave Porto till the lunch time hour.
I could theoretically, take a cab to Arco if strapped on time but I do want to walk some of the way around 1-2 hours to get me into Arco by 330-5pm at the latest.
What train station should I go to? The Quinta recommended Villa de Conde train station and mapping it looks like freeway walking (yikes), which I want to avoid freeways as much as possible & open to training further North than Maia.
My hostel is in Sao Bento train station in Porto. I really don't want to rush Porto. A divorce has led me to the camino and my ex and I both loved Porto so much we were looking to potentially move there, so there are some moments of solitude for "grievance" and reflection on returning to a "home" but walking that path alone, if that makes sense..The guidebook I have is kinda useless it just shows a route + hotels/hostels.
