Starting on 24th

[Aja]

Im starting on my Camino Portugues (from Porto) at 24th of July. I already have my credential, so I was thinking to start from airport write away (to the first stop at the end of the day).

Do you have any suggestions regarding that?

Thanks!

Yes. Start in Porto. You'll miss a beautifull part alongside the river Douro and if you choose for the coastal trip to Vila do Conde ,a beautifull walk along the Atlantic Ocean. Worthwhile

By the way Porto is a beautiful town worthwhile to visit.

From Vila do Conde you can choose to follow the coast to Esposende ,Viana do Castelo Caminha and so on to Vigo and Redondela where you pick up the interior route to São Pedro de Rates, Barcelos, Ponte de Lima to Valença and Tui to Santiago.
Between Barcelos and Ponte de Lima in Vitorino dos Piaës is the best lodging ,casa da Fernanda. Don't miss it if you choose for the interior route

Bom caminho

Thanks everybody
I have a return flight also from Porto, so I thought, that I would enjoy Porto the last few days at the end of my Caminho (till the returnt flight).

Is there anyone who starts on the same day?

which first stop do you reccomend?

which first stop do you reccomend?

If you start from the airport as you wrote before, than your first stop will probably the albergue of São Pedro de Rates.
So you will walk through the very busy and dangerous infrastructure north of Porto.
Take your safetyvest with you !
Bom caminho
