Eleven days sufficient for a litoral/coastal/central combo for a slow

[LorneB]

With a slight change to my schedule, I will now have at most eleven days of walking available to me on the Portugues. Given that I prefer to go at a slow pace, an average of 3km/hour, I'd say, and that I like to stop periodically to really take in my surroundings, would a combination of the littoral/coastal/central be doable? Or should I simply stick with the central given the eleven-day limitation?


Another alternative would be to simply start out and see what happens, not being overly concerned if I make it to the finish line., at least this time around ?


Thoughts?

Just thought I'd mention that I've answered my question - based in part on a thread someone posted on doing the coastal in ten days (not sure how to include the link using my phone, so regrets that I'm unable to share). Will take my chances. If anyone has insights or tips, they would of course be welcome.

Abrigado,


Lorne

Then an idea maybe is to train to Viana de Castelo and walk from there.
Reserve 2 days to visit Porto and then off to walk should be my advise and I know because I know the north of Portugal as the the pouch of my trousers a a Dutch proverb says.
Obrigado, muito prazer e bom caminho !
