JohnnieWalker said:Hi David
You've looked at the usual etapas:
1 Porto – Vilarinho (or Vila do Conde) 27 kms
2 Vilarinho – Barcelos 27 kms
3 Barcelos – Ponte de Lima 33.5 kms
4 Ponte de Lima – Rubiães 20.5 kms
5 Rubiães – Valença or Tui 20 kms
6 Valença or Tui – Redondela 30 kms
7 Redondela – Pontevedra 20.5 kms
8 Pontevedra – Caldas de Reis 21.1 kms
9 Caldas de Reis – Padrón 17 kms
10 Padrón – Santiago 23.9 kms
Obviously you could "double up" etapas but that would be very demanding. Most Spanish people start in Tui which would give you a 5 day option + some time in Santiago. There is always, of course, the Camino Ingles from Ferrol - also 5 days. If pilgrimage to Santiago isn't your whole objective you could also use the time to walk out to Finisterre and Muxia which fits very well into a week also with some time in Santiago.
Happy selecting!

JohnnieWalker said:Before there is a queue of pilgrims at firestations: firestations in Portugal may provide accommodation for pilgrims however this is at their discretion and usually only to bunk in a spare room or to use spare beds. Given that they are...errr... firestations and not albergues they cannot cope with many pilgrims.

as i walking ALONE THE WHOLE PORTUGAL ROUTE - i was wondering when do the crowds begin walking....
and i was thinking before starting my camino, not to go because of the crowds.... maybe everybody thinks like this, and there are no crowds?
now seriously: the estimation is that june, july, august will be the peak...
This is how I did it in 6 days after walking from Lisbon to Porto but my stages were longer than 35 K thou. If you can do 40's you can break my Day 12 (day 2) in two really short daysHi
I have one week and was wondering, is it possible to walk the Camino from Porto to Santiago? This is the only amount of time I can get off from work !!! I have looked at the guides that are downloadable and they only show the main stops. Are there places to sleep along the way? Also, 35ish K's a day does not bother me as I reguarly walk long distances
Thanks
