Hello fellow pilgrims,
We are walking the Portuguese Camino for our first Camino and start on May 5th. We will be leaving from Vila do Conde and walking to Rates the first day. I know that there are two routes - the river route which is the one that is well marked but has lots of traffic and the aqueduct route that is not well marked (and identified but not recommended in Brierly). We would rather not face a lot of crazy traffic, especially on our first dat so I was wondering....
1. Has anyone gone on both routes?
2. What is the traffic like on the aqueduct route? What is the route itself like?
3. Is there a problem with pilgrims walking along the aqueduct route - as in, will this upset the people that live there?
I've got both routes on maps.me and wikiloc as well as a pdf showing the route that I got on this forum.
Thanks!
