[QUOTE="Albertinho, post: 463032, member: 22438"] Good morning to you Russell ! No there is no alternative route. This is the central route. The coastal part of the caminho Português ends up in Redondela where it joins the central route to Santiago. Maybe an idea to look at the specific routes I mentioned and the elevations and skip those parts . On the other hand last year when we walked the coastal and the central route we met two I think American or Canadian ladies who were in their eighties and they easily shuffled down the last hill just before Pontevedra. In a way of "easy does it" I assume the aim is to get in Santiago for you and your company. If not and if a Compostela certificate is not important you could start earlier in Porto and walk the coastal caminho Português to Caminha on the Portuguese/Spanish border which is a great walk too. A flat walk. You will enjoy the Portuguese hospitality ,the excellent food and if you like it, the wines. Another option is take walk from Porto on the central route to Barcelos and Ponte de Lima . Barcelos is a nice place to stay and if you like you can make a detour by bus or train to Braga with its world famous church Bom Jesus do Monte. And stay at my favourite place casa Fernanda. Fernanda definitively gives the lady a private room. After Fernanda you'll arrive in the lovely town of Ponte de Lima from where you could return back to Porto by public tranport. After Ponte de Lima comes a nasty mountain your company will not feel comfy I am afraid, the Alto de Portela Grande. In both options you will enjoy all the good of Portugal and you are on the caminho. My wife and I walked the caminho Portuguese twice but due to insuries we are not able to walk that far anymore but we come back to Portugal once or twice a year. Coming year we will have 3 visits in mind ! An eight days visit to the island of Madeira, our spring holiday somewhere in the south and our annual visit to Casa Fernanda to give her a hand as hospitaleiros and see friends in Braga. We love the country and the people. Bom caminho. [/QUOTE]
