Ola, Sheena,
How do I add something into the calendar please??
Hi!
Not yet - still working on it...Thanks
I walked the costal Camino last year. The way north is beautiful and If you goggle there's a local who has provided extra way marks and arranged accommodation in his local village hall a wonderful experience
The hostel is AGuarda is great and take a trip to the top of the mountain the views are amazing
I have searched but cannot find. By memory it was Frexico and his marks were green. I will have another search and get back to you
May I suggest you get in touch with a Portuguse guide mr Zeca Pereira. He regularly walks the route and was very helpful to me. You can find him on Facebook
Hello Arlene. Anne Maddock from Oz here. I am currently planning Lisbon - Santiago for next year, possible September. We will miss meeting yet again. [ October 2013] Still following your blog.
Yes keep the sea on your left ..... but there are long periods without sight of it and in the ecuaplatus forests they have marked many trees with an arrow, problem is ecuaplatuas trees she's there bark all the time. Take care and look for little arrows painted on small rocks
Anne, surely one of these days we will meet up along the Way. Until then we will simply have to keep returning ~ Arlène
Hi Sheena, my mistake, we meet up in Porto on July 9th and begin walking on July 11th from Matosinhos to arrive on the Eve of St. James Day in Santiago. Yes, I've walked the Camino Portuguese many times. It is one of my favorite routes. I choose to lead tours on this route as it is not as crowded as the Francés and private accommodations are relatively easy to obtain. ~ Arlène
Have you looked at the you tube clips of the Portuguese costal some of them show the route very well and the Hostels
Yes. I have been looking at you tube clips, videos, reading books, dreaming and planning for some time now. I can't quite believe it is really going to happen after all these years. I will continue to follow others adventures an gain from the valuable information you all provide.
My wife and I are planning to do the Camino Portuguese in Aug-Sep 2016. After Porto, I wanted to do the Central Route and my wife wanted the Coastal Route. We are considering a compromise that is somewhat similar to yours. However, we would follow the Coastal Route as far as Caminha (just before you cross the rio Minho into Spain) and taking a route along the Portuguese side of the Minho to Valenca, where we would rejoin the Central route and on to Tui. We have seen this route on various websites, with maps. Has anyone tried this route? Is it (well) waymarked? My wife is concerned that there might be no other pilgrims on this route and that we might meet up with local dogs (and people) that aren't used to having pilgrims walk through. Any advice?
Go for it. It's a wonderful Camino very beautiful and the villages are lovely. No problems when I did it with accomadation. The route is well marked just follow the river ro the se at via de Conde and the path until you leave the last small town and the arrows are very good. I didn't have a map or guide book and had absloutly no problems. It's so much nicer than the central route. Do the Eapritual variant as well
