This video is provided for anyone considering the Porto, Portugal Camino Santiago Coastal Route, including the Senda Litoral Way. This video shows the 3D Relive Map of the terrain, some of the highlights of scenery, churches and type of path (trail, road, boardwalk, etc). We wish a complete overview like this were available to us before we did this journey - it would have made a difference in our planning as well as how we did the camino. At the end of this video, we offer key tips/lessons learned on our journey that may make others’ journeys even more enjoyable. For instance, we already planned on more quality time along the way and tentatively planned shorter stages than most books and apps recommended. We also learned along the way to plan for an additional 25-30% more distance than the maps, books and apps say between towns. We also show where we stayed each night and provided our opinion of the accommodations.
Our 15 individual days include much more detail of each stage of our Camino. You can watch these on our KZfaq Channel:

Our next adventure takes us to Canada where we will be sightseeing and fishing British Columbia from the United States border all the way to Alaska. We hope you will join us soon for this adventure!

Well done. I have walked the Portuguese camino twice and this video brought back great memories.

Great video and review of the beautiful sights. I was curious about three things surrounding your Camino. 1st-were your accommodations at each location reasonably priced? 2nd-did you prearrange your accommodations or did you simply take a chance there would be space? And 3rd- if you were able to do it over would you divert to the central route instead of the coastal just to vary the scenery and sights? Thanks for taking the time to put this informative video together.

Thank you. We found we needed to book accommodations one day in advance. The places we picked, hotels and private room hostels/residences, were priced from $45 to $80 per night - we used booking.com and Expedia to find them for the next day each evening when we had an idea of how we were feeling and how far we wanted to go the next day. One day in advance booking did force us at times to hike extra miles sometimes to get to an available accommodations. The coastal route does join the central route after Vigo. We enjoyed both - but preferred the scenery and temperatures along the coastal section more. The last thing I’d like to mention is - We carried our packs the whole way, but 90 percent or more of people seem to be using bag services from one location to the next and only walked with day packs - Depending on your desire, the people who used the bag services were not as tired as we were each evening (seems like I remember people saying bag transfers averaged about $8 per day. Hope this helps! Appreciate you watching our videos!

My plan is to walk this Camino mid April 24. How was the weather for your walk? I shy away from intense heat, I’m hoping the spring will be mild. Loved your video, I can’t wait to do this myself! ✌🏽🦋

We had great weather during our Camiño. Mostly highs in the 60s and cool in the mornings. We did have a couple days in the low 80s - which felt hot to us. We carried rain gear, but only put it on once - and it quit raining 5 minutes later. Hope you enjoy your Camiño! Let us know if there’s anything else we can share about our journey.

hi, thanks for sharing ! we are restricted by time and wondering if we were to cut shot the journey, which part would you recommend we cut out and how do we continue from to breakpoints through public transportation assuming it's available ? thanks!

Hello, Our least favorite part of the journey was approaching Vigo, in Vigo, and leaving Vigo. Others like that section, but our favorite sections are in the countryside and smaller towns. Vigo is a large city. There is plenty of public transportation along the way. Just remember if you are wanting a certificate of completion, you will need to walk at least the last 100 km from which ever way you choose, and get your camino passport stamped a couple times each of those days during the last 100 km.
