Portuguese Camino May 2015

[Andrew Roche]

Looking forward to returning to the Portuguese Camino the end of May 2015. Walking from Porto to Tui - Starting from Porto on Tuesday, 26th May 2015. Any suggestions where I should stay in Porto on the 25th May?

Welcome to the Forum!
There are several hostels and hotels in Porto.
I have stayed in the hotel Porto Mar in Matosinhos which is about 10 km walk from the Sé Cathedral along the river and along the Atlantic Ocean.
BTW I will be around Porto May 22 - 23 a couple of days before you start your camino.
Buen camino

have a look at the porto website - end of May 2014 (which was around the time that i returned) there was a HUGE music festival in town, and at appeared that every bed was booked, hotel, pensao, hostel alike .... i'd recommend that: if your stay and another festival overlaps, do book ahead!

bom caminho!!
