I went on the Camino da Costa from Porto Sept 18 to Oct. 4. I just booked the night before or the morning of. The Buen Camino App is very good at giving me the Hostels contact information. Buen Camino mi amigo!Hi all, just about to set off for Portugal but wondering if Albuerges along the coastal are currently opened? I have found a few mixed reports and wasn't planning on booking accom in advance.
FYI for those setting off soon, I will be walking down the Douro and up the coast from Sé cathedral on the 26th morning.
TIA!
I’ll be heading out to Labruge from Porto Oct 29th and booked ahead mostly to keep distances within reason, assure myself of a place to sleep as I reserved when COVID restrictions still in place and because of November closures. Only Labruge seemed to be either Orbiter campground bungalows (I got one) or Praia hotel at 54€ for single. I started in Lisbon and since starting Oct 9th not one place has asked for vaccination or Covid test results…..rules changed oct 1st.hi, the camino ninja and gronze apps show quite a few as closed (for instance in Labruge). i've booked the first three nights to keep daily distances reasonable. I'm setting off next week too.
Not yet but let me get back to you in 4 days! Please feel free to remind me.I’m going to start the coastal/litora route next week, but I don’t recall seeing mention of the Spanish Heath declaration for the crossing from Caminha. Apparently the declaration needs to be filled out in advance with the vessel name. Has anyone dealt with this recently?
Thank youNot yet but let me get back to you in 4 days! Please feel free to remind me.
Hope you get to enjoy the same weather I am. One thing to bare in mind is there is very little shade on the coastal Camino. Be well.Have a great Camino. I should have started last week, but have had to postpone until next April. I hope the weather is kind

Thank you! Maybe I’ll blow up a dry bag for a makeshift flotation deviceCrossed earlier this month and was stumped by the same question so didn't bother with the declaration and was never asked about it.
The other thing that stumped me was the apparent lack of lifejackets on the crossing but the journey was so quick that I failed to check what provision there was on the water taxi. Just a heads-up if you are concerned about these things.
On small boats/short crossings they are often tucked away under bench seats but haven't (yet) taken that crossing so can't say.Crossed earlier this month and was stumped by the same question so didn't bother with the declaration and was never asked about it.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch. No checks at all except at Albuerge who asked for a vaccine proof. Which I have.I’m going to start the coastal/litora route next week, but I don’t recall seeing mention of the Spanish Heath declaration for the crossing from Caminha.

Great! Exactly what I wanted to hearNothing. Nada. Zilch. No checks at all except at Albuerge who asked for a vaccine proof. Which I have.
Any issues crossing the border at Caminha re COVID-19 regulationsThanks all for the input. I've been finding it's a mixed bag at the moment, with the constraint in options, it's meant I was turned away at some accommodation. So I do recommended booking in advance for those starting soon (a day ought to do it).
One query.... I'm on my 4th day and there has been ALOT of walking on roads. Besides the dunes, is there any more natural route following trails and the likes??
And there was no problem whatsoever, but something I had previously missed, probably because I did this so last minute. Sorry if everyone knows this already.Great! Exactly what I wanted to hear
