Yes, I would like a continuous walk, but it's not crucial.
I'm just sitting here in my post Camino doldrums trying to think of what I will do for next year's Camino. It may not be in Portugal at all, but recent posts about the Fisherman's Trail...
I don't know anything about cycling but there is no real 'coastal route' from Lisbon to Porto that's actually a Camino de Santiago. There's the Caminho do Mar which hits the coast briefly at/around Cascais and then heads inland to Fátima, or else...
There have been efforts to mark something, but I just cannot find the discussions that I KNOW we had on the forum. I think Nick is right that it becomes very hard to figure out how to walk when you get close to the 25th of April bridge, and...
Up-to-date info:
1. On the long stage from Castro Laboreiro to Cortegada, Cafe San Mauro is definitely open, and they have a decent list of 'raciones'. As I generally do, I've found a very good alternative, which only adds on about 100 yards to...

Codeseda
The small village of Codeseda, where pilgrims are welcomed with open arms, is in some ways the ‘hub’ of the Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieiros, and staying overnight is highly recommended.
Two Casas Rurales, Casa O Avó and Casa O...
Such a shame that neither of you were able to stay in Codeseda but it sounds like you both still managed to enjoy some of its famous hospitality. Apart from the day through the national park, staying in Codeseda was the highlight of our Geira. We...
This is the Caminho Central that I mentioned upthread. It’s well signed and there’s a free guidebook in English and several other languages for download. The problem for @trecile (if indeed it is a problem) is that it doesn’t connect to the CP in...
