I posted my prospective route for this May. It is part coastal, part interior. This is it:I am trying to find a recent post that gave a google map with the coastal route marked on it. I did not bookmark it and can not now find it on the forum. Can anyone help?
I found it in the Coastal Camino from Lisbon forum under Map of the Portuguese Coastal RouteThanks for that. The one i was looking for went through Vigo.
How do you get those maps from this site?Can I suggest -
If you have the maps.me app, you can then download the wonderful tracks created by Thomas, on this site.
He had produced color coded tracks of most of the Spanish and Portuguese Caminos.
You can personalize them and add you own information too.
Maps.me works by GPS, so a great tool when you’re off line and lost!
They’re superb and have already saved me from panicking this year!

Hi Clark.
I’m not a very technical person at all, so I hope you understand me, but this is what I did -
First of all I installed the ‘maps.me’ app on my iPad.
I found it in the App Store.
I then download the maps/tracks from this link, asking my device to download them specifically to the maps.me app -
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...uguese-caminos-in-one-file.42296/#post-561484
I believe you can also save them to google earth.
I find maps.me much more useful, as it works by GPS so you can use it offline.
When we were misplaced this year on the Camino Ingles, it pinpointed where we were quite accurately, enabling us to then get back to the track in question.
Once this is done, open the maps.me app.
Along the task bar at the bottom click on the symbol that looks like two stars one above the other, next to three lines.
This will open your stored maps.
It’s then a simple case of choosing the track you need.
It’s quite simple to save a place you’re staying, for example, just press and hold the area in question. A box will open allowing you to save or calculate a route for you.
Recently I’ve been using the Senda Littoral and Caminha de Costa tracks and added refreshment stops and accommodation choices along the route.
Combined with google maps, they have been a great resource in finding accommodation in suitable places for our group of 12 walkers.
I hope you find my explanation understandable.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any difficulties or other questions.
Glad to help.

Thank you so much! I was able to set the maps up on my phone.
Hey bryansI found it in the Coastal Camino from Lisbon forum under Map of the Portuguese Coastal Route
The maps you must consult are on Luis Freixo's Blog www.caminador.es There's no other source of information which has all the Portuguese Ways in all formats not just Google, Wikiloc, PDF etc. Watch out for a new Camino too La Via Mariana like the Portuguese Coastal Way a Camino created by Luis, el dios de Los Caminos Portugueses!!
Excuse my ignorance but do these Luis Freixo maps come with any English translations?

The post is 4 years old, and @Clark has not been on the forum for 2 years. You can probably find better tracks elsewhere now.The links is not valid.. Just wanted to know if you could reshare
