Camino del Norte 09/23
Hi. My name is Chris, and my wife and I will be doing the Camino del Norte in September this year. We are thinking of hiring bikes ones we get to Santiago to cycle the Portuguese camino in reverse to Porto. Has anyone done this, and if so do you have any suggestions/tips for us. We would be very grateful. Buen Camino and thanks.

Thank you mspath. That did cross my mind, I thought maybe if we did the costal route and kept the ocean on our right we may find it easier.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Chris3,

Finding yellow arrows going the opposite way is not easy .
December 2011 after finishing a CF I walked alone from Santiago to Tui/Valenca.This backwards blog might help you.

Good luck with your planning.
However/wherever you do go Buen camino!
A very smart way to be able to see incoming bikes. In October 2022, walking Tui-Santiago it was harrowing due to the kamikaze cyclists 🚴 🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♂️ who never announced themselves. I was a rodie 🚵‍♀️ before I became a 🚶🏽‍♀, accustomed to cyclist etiquette around walkers, and every time they whizzed by, I cringed, especially when I almost landed in the ditch several times. Ah, the good old days…

This is one of the easiest routes to follow in reverse, as you simply follow follow the blue arrows that are heading to Fatima. Why stop at Porto, you could follow all the way to Fatima.

Thank you Hughb: unfortunately we are time restricted otherwise we would. Do the blue arrows take you on the coastal route?
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

No central. But if you want to follow the coast. Sea on the right. Yep. Going the correct direction!

Can't miss Porto.

Bom Caminho

You could also try and look for blue arrows. The blue arrows point to Fatima, but north of Porto they also point to Porto. :)

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
