Thanks, we have been curious about the terrain / walking surfaces on some parts of the Português. Did you walk all the way to Rates from Labruge? Or stay a night in Vila do Conde?
We walked from Porto to LaBruge on day one. I had just arrived the night before, but the walk wasn’t too difficult. I enjoyed the part between Porto and Matosinhos and am glad I didn’t skip it. I liked the municipal in Labruge also. The following...
I did similar but I shortened my first day and lengthened my second, stopping the first night in Vila Chã instead of Vila do Conde. For what it is worth, the albergue in Vila Chã has a nice little museum to the local fishing industry on its...
