Olá,
some pilgrims want to visit the beautiful town of Porto on their way back home. They have ordered their Credential at Ivar´s shop in advance. So they can easily start at the airport heading towards Angeiras > Vila do Conde.
There is a tunnel under the runway!

It´s easy to get there:

Follow the signs to praias and campismo, leading to Angeiras > Vila do Conde along the coast. To Vila do Conde is on the main road!.
Thanks Rainer, I bet this thread will encourage some to start walking from the airport who otherwise wouldn't be able to figure it out.
I remember hearing about an albergue that was close to the Porto airport, and I'm wondering if this path passes by it or close to it.
Bom caminho, Laurie
Why not take the Metro to Matasinhos Mercardo ? Simples.
I think Laurie means the one run by the two sisters or cousins, a few minutes walk from the airport. Airporto Hostel. Much closer than the Angeiras camping.Olá Laurie,
From Porto Airport to the nearest albergue, Pargue de Campismo Angeiras.

Better for whom? And under what conditions? After a trans-Atlantic flight, I am not looking to walk. If I had come in from Australia I would most certainly not be looking to walk. And then it depends on where one wants to walk to the day after...Olá Anemone, thank you for mentioning it. I´ve never been there. You are right, it is much closer to the airport, but when your flight arrives not that late, I think it´s better to start walking.
Walk to Maia and find the waymarkers direction Santiago ( Maia , Gemunde, Mosteiro, Vairão to Vilarinho and São Pedro de Rates to Barcelos and on .In Vairão is a nice albergue in a former monastery ,Monastério de VairãoWe’re walking the other way from the airport- ie north on the central way. Any tips on directions out of the airport and nearby places to stay would be gratefully received.
Once direction Vairão you're out of the heavy traffic area and come into a more rural area. Not others than the rest of the central route further on .Thank you.
I’m wondering about which way, now to avoide heavy vehicle traffic. I’ll look at those threads and consider which one to take.
