How many signposted connections routes are there?

[MarieLauFlorin]

Does anyone know how many signposted connection routes there are between coastal and central Camino Portugués?

I know of the one between Vila do Conde and Rates. I know it is possible to make connection routesin Google maps, but I am interested in the ones marked with yellow arrows.

You mean “the waymarked” route with the yellow waymarkers ?
During my 4 Portuguese caminho’s I have walked the waymarked route between Vila do Conde and São Pedro de Rates

More in northern direction is a connection between Viana do Castelo and Barosellos but this one is not waymarked and not nice to walk aside a busy Nroad (N203)
But there is another one more north from Caminha to Valença do Minho and you follow a beautifull path , well waymarked along the southern side of the Minho river

I think this is the best map that shows how the Coastal, the Central, and the Littoral weave in and out together.

I believe, though I’m not certain, that they are all marked.

That’s correct Laurie and surprisingly the waymarked connection between Vila do Conde and São Pedro de Rates isn’t mentioned on this map and that is the most common one

Wonderful and SO useful, thanks! I will look into the one you mention between from Caminha to Valença do Minho. Hoping to find a map somewhere.

Now I found this old thread - rather confusing which routes are described and which are waymarked:

Just give it in in Google maps and you’ll find it
follow the Minho river. First you’ll will see Vila Nova de Cerveira and keep following the river to Valença do Minho

when we walked this path in 2018 it was fully waymarked but if the waymarkers should be gone, just follow the river at your left side and you end up in Valença. It is a beautifull leisure path most of the time

Well confusing…. There are two waymarked paths one from Vila do Conde to Rates and the other one from Caminha to Valença
Does not mean that there are no other connections but not waymarked.
