Camino Portuguese

Hello, I am trying to find info re a coastal walk to Porto starting about 50 k from Porto

That should be a route from about Aveiro ( = 43 kms towards Porto)
That could be the Coastal from Lisbon I think. Jungleboy maybe knows about this route

Edit there is a subforum about the Coastal from Lisbon but this one does not go that far to the north and connects the Central route around Ansiāo .

I have been in Aveiro ( beautiful town by the way and called “ Venice from Portugal” )
North of Aveiro is the river delta of the Aveiro river. I read something about crossing an arm of the river at low tide a while ago but can’t remember where that is.

By the way. You are on the wrong sub forum. This is about a route from the South West of the Algarve till south of Lisbon.
A moderater should move your post to another subforum although I do not know which one and you probably will get more response .

I don’t have much information but yes, Aveiro to Porto along the coast should be possible but I assume it would be a ‘made-up’ camino without arrows.

definitely it will be a made up caminho without arrows.
We travelled around in that area some years ago. Except for Aveiro we went to the coast to an in Portugal fairly famous place , Costa Nova with beautiful houses and to a place Praia de Barra what is at the mouth of the Aveiro river

If you could cross the river there , you walk along endless beaches but as far as I can see no infrastructure others than a militairy base , an airfield .
More in the direction of Porto are villages and small towns like Espinho.
There are paths and roads to Vila Nova da Gaia and to Foss do Douro ( at the other side you can walk to Matosinhos or back to Porto. There is even a ferry to the other side.Have a look on Google Earth and you’ll see what I mean.

If you want to walk towards Porto , 50 kms south of it, you also can connect from Aveiro to the Central route in e.g.Albergaría -a-Velha but from Grijó we did not like walking along the busy roads into Porto.
