It is a lot of roadwalking but not on highways,We are planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto to Santiago next fall but I've just heard that the Portuguese route is primarily on roads/highways? I am just starting to do some reading on this route but wonder if anyone can share their experience?
Thanks,
the Spanish/Galician section runs mostly along small (quiet) roads with patches of dirt trails. Still a wonderful walk.We are planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto to Santiago next fall but I've just heard that the Portuguese route is primarily on roads/highways?

Thanks,
Allan - check my web site. Diary of the Portuguese [inland] and loads of photos. It is NOT primarily on roads/highways. In fact, I loved Porto to Santiago so much it's in my diary as my last camino in 2018!!!We are planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto to Santiago next fall but I've just heard that the Portuguese route is primarily on roads/highways?

Viana do Castelo is a very nice seaside town with a pilgrim albergue, S. João da Cruz dos Caminhos. However if you are searching for private accommodation, consider the OLarenjeiro, rua Rua Manuel Espregueira, 24. It is a charming newly furnished small place with a very good dining room. Just before Christmas 2014 a double room with private bath and delicious breakfast was 45 euros. Quite a bargain!

I've just come back from walking from Tui to Santiago . Great walking with a mix of woods and small country roads. There are v short parts where you will walk along Or have to cross the national route but it's just to find the next path. Make sure you take the alternative route to Porrino to avoid industrial estate, you can get map in tourist office in TuiWe are planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto to Santiago next fall but I've just heard that the Portuguese route is primarily on roads/highways?

Hi Allen we've just returned from the second stage coastal Portuguese Camino and loved the coastal scenery- you follow the bike paths and off road paths from Baiona to Vigo - there is an ugly bit of road along a main route from Vigo to Redondela but then it joins the normal camino route from Redondela to Santiago and is well marked through lovely little villages, woods and vineyards.We are planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto to Santiago next fall but I've just heard that the Portuguese route is primarily on roads/highways?
