Ola, Sheena,My husband and I are making our second Camino starting on 08 June 2016. Walking from Porto to Santiago. Initially along the coast to A Guarda, then inland to meet friends in Tui and north from there. Hoping we bump into some of you out there! Buen Camino!
Ola, Sheena,
Maybe you should put your starting date in Forum Calendar:
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/calendar/
This way more of the forum members will see it. I think you can put already existing OP in the Calendar otherwise you'll have to write another one to enter the dates.
Bom Caminho!

Hi!How do I add something into the calendar please??
Hello Sheena,
I will be leading a group of grandparents with their grandchildren along with a few blind students and their teacher along the Caminho PortugΓͺs Via Costeira beginning from Porto on June 9th, 2016. I love this route, it is beautiful. Will you be in Santiago for the feast of St. James? My tour group will be arriving in SdC on the 24th! It should be great fun.
It looks as though we may be a day or two behind you, we will actually begin walking from Matosinhos on the 11th of July after a day to get acclimated to the time change and jet lag. Look for us along the way or in SdC, everyone in the group will be wearing a light blue bandana.

You really have to consult my mate Luis Freixo's PDF maps of the Coastal Route see http://www.caminador.es/?page_id=117 ! El dios de los Camino PortuguΓ©ses !!
I start from Lisbon on May 12 but I think I will be a little ahead of you still. Hopefully I will run into (walk into??) other pilgrims along the way...
Not yet - still working on it...ThanksOla! Did you add your starting point to the forum calendar yet?
Ola, y gracias / e obrigado!
I found your friend Luis's maps some time ago by accident - they look wonderful. Over the winter I'll be printing and sticking them together!
I walked the costal Camino last year. The way north is beautiful and If you goggle there's a local who has provided extra way marks and arranged accommodation in his local village hall a wonderful experienceMy husband and I are making our second Camino starting on 08 June 2016.

I have searched but cannot find. By memory it was Frexico and his marks were green. I will have another search and get back to youHi Hugh. Do you have a link to the 'extra waymarks' information please? I tried googling but haven't found what you describe as yet. Obrigardo, Sheena.
May I suggest you get in touch with a Portuguse guide mr Zeca Pereira. He regularly walks the route and was very helpful to me. You can find him on FacebookI have searched but cannot find. By memory it was Frexico and his marks were green. I will have another search and get back to you

Hello Arlene. Anne Maddock from Oz here. I am currently planning Lisbon - Santiago for next year, possible September. We will miss meeting yet again. [ October 2013] Still following your blog.Hello Sheena,

Yes keep the sea on your left ..... but there are long periods without sight of it and in the ecuaplatus forests they have marked many trees with an arrow, problem is ecuaplatuas trees she's there bark all the time. Take care and look for little arrows painted on small rocksThanks Hugh. Next time I'm on there I'll have a look for him. I think with the walking guide from our travel company, our own guide book and maps, we shouldn't go too far wrong. Anyway we shall keep to the best bit of advice we were given is 'keep the sea on your left!'
Anne, surely one of these days we will meet up along the Way. Until then we will simply have to keep returning ~ ArlèneHello Arlene. Anne Maddock from Oz here.

Hi Sheena, my mistake, we meet up in Porto on July 9th and begin walking on July 11th from Matosinhos to arrive on the Eve of St. James Day in Santiago. Yes, I've walked the Camino Portuguese many times. It is one of my favorite routes. I choose to lead tours on this route as it is not as crowded as the Francés and private accommodations are relatively easy to obtain. ~ ArlèneOla amourier!
Sorry I'm a little confused by the dates in your post, would you be starting off in June or July? If it is June - I think you'll be a little while behind us as we set off on the 8th June, but we will look out for you all! From your post, it sounds like you've walked this route before - I've been watching some of the videos about it and it does indeed look very beautiful! If you're walking in July - we hope you enjoy the St. James celebrations - sadly we'll be home on 25th June, so will miss them completely. Bom Caminho / Buen Camino!

Have you looked at the you tube clips of the Portuguese costal some of them show the route very well and the HostelsI am well on my way to planning my first Camino in August 2016 from Lisbon to Porto and then the coastal route from Porto re-joining the main route at Arcade. I will be watching you who are going before me and hanging out for your comments.
Yes. I have been looking at you tube clips, videos, reading books, dreaming and planning for some time now. I can't quite believe it is really going to happen after all these years. I will continue to follow others adventures an gain from the valuable information you all provide.Have you looked at the you tube clips of the Portuguese costal some of them show the route very well and the Hostels

My wife and I are planning to do the Camino Portuguese in Aug-Sep 2016. After Porto, I wanted to do the Central Route and my wife wanted the Coastal Route. We are considering a compromise that is somewhat similar to yours. However, we would follow the Coastal Route as far as Caminha (just before you cross the rio Minho into Spain) and taking a route along the Portuguese side of the Minho to Valenca, where we would rejoin the Central route and on to Tui. We have seen this route on various websites, with maps. Has anyone tried this route? Is it (well) waymarked? My wife is concerned that there might be no other pilgrims on this route and that we might meet up with local dogs (and people) that aren't used to having pilgrims walk through. Any advice?My husband and I are making our second Camino starting on 08 June 2016. Walking from Porto to Santiago.

Go for it. It's a wonderful Camino very beautiful and the villages are lovely. No problems when I did it with accomadation. The route is well marked just follow the river ro the se at via de Conde and the path until you leave the last small town and the arrows are very good. I didn't have a map or guide book and had absloutly no problems. It's so much nicer than the central route. Do the Eapritual variant as wellMy husband and I are making our second Camino starting on 08 June 2016. Walking from Porto to Santiago.
