Good morning.
I’m looking for any information about the litoral way walk from Porto please
Andrew
Thank you
For the heads up I’m new to this. Plus I’m old not computer savvy.
I’m really interested in the bit from caminha in stead of joining the central route. I want to stick close to the coast
Andrew
The thread has been moved to the appropriate sub-forum.I see you posted your question in the equipment and clothes section.
Oh sorry I thought I said. From caminha I would like information about sticking close to the coast before SantiagoSo what info are you seeking that is not already in a guidebook or on one of the CP threads?

I think that Don’s question is asking you for a bit more detail about the information you are looking for. It’s kind of hard to answer a general request for “information.” There is a ton of info here already on the forum about the littoral vs. coastal vs. central. Just plug “littoral” into the search function.Oh sorry I thought I said. From caminha I would like information about sticking close to the coast before Santiago
Thanks Andrew
No apologies — in fact, being confused is one of the main reasons people post on the forum! I do think that map is great, though unfortunately it leaves out a few other wonderful Portuguese caminhos, like the Portuguese part of the Torres and the Geira, but I digress….Apologies about confusion
Oh that’s great I’ll check it all outNo apologies — in fact, being confused is one of the main reasons people post on the forum!

And I edited my earlier post to add that you should keep in mind that the spelling of “litoral” is also sometimes appearing as “littoral,” the English spelling. That does make a search more challenging.
At 78 I walked the Spiritual Variant , stuck to the coast all the way . Caminha to Oia , Baiona and onwards . The climb is a challenge from Combaro to Monasteria but still made it ok . Loved the Stone Water walk into Villa de Arousa . Boat trip from here to Padron wonderful .Thank you

I walked from Porto on the Senda Littoral and it was great. Not challenging and right on the Ocean almost the whole wayNo worries, I might be a bit younger but not much computer savvy either.
Fantastic advice thank you so much. Honestly more advice and tips the betterI walked out of Porto along the river (keeping it on my left) towards the ocean. You will not see any yellow arrows until Matosinhos. The first couple of days of the Littoral route is quite urban but I quite enjoyed it. From there to Caminha, I walked a blend of the Littoral and Coastal routes. The arrows out of Seixas (after Caminha) lead back up into the forests, apparently that is the original route. My advice is to ignore the arrows and just stay on the river path, a lovely, easy walk. The town of Vila Nova de Cerveira is slightly off route (as in, you need to leave the river path and walk an short distance into the town) but totally worth a stop for coffee & a pastry!
The more reading on forums, and when you receive your guides books, the more it will all make sense. Happy researching and have a wonderful journey.
Thanks so very muchI walked from Porto on the Senda Littoral and it was great. Not challenging and right on the Ocean almost the whole way
Only problem is a few areas that aren’t marked very well so have to reroute occasionally

Yes all good with the boat trip allowed. We were so fortunate to have some 60 if us a short stop at a Mussels Farm for 2 dozen each and a free bottle of local white wine . A fun 1 and 1/2 hours followed on the boat to Padron.Thanks Garry
I’m really liking the look of your walk especially the boat to pardon. Wee question is that allowed the boat trip?
Hi I have a garmin gps is there a gps route I can download. For the litoral routeNo apologies — in fact, being confused is one of the main reasons people post on the forum!
