Albergues less than 20km apart?

[bkkboy]

A friend wants to come on the Portuguese camino with me, but long-distance walking in a day is not her strong point. If we were leave Porto using the coastal route, head inland at Villa do Conde to follow the central route to Santiago, would there be albergues less than 20 km apart?

Check https://www.gronze.com/

There you can find information to help you plan your stages.

Check out the online guide link above, and choose the coastal route. As you add a starting point all of the distances will calculate and you can easily see how far apart the can be.

Do you specifically want Albuergues? Or are you interested in all types of lodging? If the latter, we did your route in June/July with very few 20K+ days, but didn't stay in municipal Albuergues.

It's not long distance walking. It's walking a short distance and have a coffee. Walk another short distance and have a coffee and croissant. Walk another short distance and have a light lunch. Walk another short distance to your bed for the night and sit around with others with a glass of wine or take a nap. Walk to the little store next door for tomorrow 's snack. Repeat.

Love this comment- funny but so true

One of my favorite pilgrims of all time, a fellow whose physical appearance and general mindset lent much doubt as to his aptitude for long distance walking, very cleverly broke every day down into 5km segments.

Distance to second breakfast: One Five.
Distance to subsequent coffee: Half a Five
Tired after that, but the end of the day was only Three Fives away.

He outwitted all of us that summer.

I’m doing that route and averaging 10-12 miles per day. The hard part is those first two days on the coast because there’s only one place I could find at the midway point between Porto and Vila do Conde. It’s a little hotel vs an albergue. Happy to share my spreadsheet with you if you DM me. Also she can always take a bus or taxi if she is struggling and you can still hang out in the evenings.

There is also the Orbitur campground in Angeiras. Little cabins at a pilgrim price.

There's also an albergue and guest houses in Labruge.
