Yes you must browse the forum for further advice.
I've done it alot of times. Best to follow the yellow arrows and the camino is well marked. Pick them up where the streets Rua Conde and Calle Ventura Misa intersect just before the fountain Fonte de Zeta in the Old Town.
I also suggest you use Luis Freixo's maps especially as you go throgh Vigo so you can easily get off the camino to find your place to stay and get back to the camino see www.caminador.es. He also has a list of places to eat/drink in Baiona etc with map.

Yep did this in June. Stayed at casa de marques which has access to the beautiful beach at Sabaris, just a short stroll from Baiona marina and old town. Walk the castle walls that surround the parador at Baiona...great views. Panxon beach out from Baiona on way to Vigo is fantastic. Stop at portino for lunch...only one restaurant of the same name, but the setting next to the sea is fantastic. The staff are very friendly but you will need a little Spanish. Detour into Vigo via the southern Vigo beaches and have a swim if hot. Pontevedra has a beautiful old town...this is definitely a highlight...and if you have time (I took a rest day here) you can get a bus to sanxenxo which has an excellent beach and front.
