Hi all!
I’ve got my plane tickets in my pocket at last and I’m starting my Camino on September 16th from Porto. Yey!!!
I want to thank all of you for this Forum, I’ve found many answers as well as inspiration. But I still have some questions, maybe you can help me.
1) For the first day I’m planning to take coastal route starting from Matosinhos to Vila do Conde. I would realy like to stay in Rates to meet other pilgrims, but I’m not sure that it would be wise to go 30+km on the first day. So, the question is - how to get from Vila do Conde to Rates? I couldn’t find any information about buses. How about taxi? How much that costs?
2) If I stick to the plan and walk whole way in 10 days, I have one extra day in Santiago. The thought is to get to Fisterra by bus, stay there for couple of hours and then to go back. Is it possible to do this? Where I can find timetables and prices?
3) What are the weather conditions in late September in Portugal and Spain?
Thank you in advance!
